Re: Seeds in Blossom
Hi Guys and Gals,
On this subject, Last year we grew a 1097 Beachy and his 550 Both of these
plants had huge females when they opened they were so deformed with seeds
there was no option But to cull them. this happened on the first 2 or 3
females and it seemed as though I wouldn't have anything growing in time for
our State fair,but as it went the plants started to throw good females.
The 550 produced my 371 but the 1097 never quite got going.
I took all the warnings as to splits from seeds in blossoms and never tried to
get any of these going.
I know, Not much help but that's my story and I'm stickin to it!
H-K-J
Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what the hell
happened!

Subject: Seeds in Blossom
Hi List:
I just had a first female open on a 1373 Dueck Papez and I noticed that
there were seeds in the blossom. I had heard about this phenomenon but
had never seen it first hand. I remember quite a while ago there was a
discussion about whether or not this caused splits later on because
there is one part of the pumpkin that does not have seeds in it. I was
wondering if anyone had any experience successful or otherwise with a
fruit with such condition. Yes I think that it took and yes I know it
is a little early but still it is in a good spot.
Thanks.
Don Crews.
