Help!
My 991 Hunt germinated seriously deformed, trying to hide its deformity by
shoving its twisted, wrinkled dicots down under the soil in the pot. So, OK,
I didn't plant it right away. Eventually I put it into the loamiest part of
the patch, where we had planned to plant carrots.
One dicot died, replaced by a leaf. Then went the 2nd dicot.
Today the 991 began turning over a new leaf, its second. Also, its first
male blossom opened today, on a vine less than one inch long.
You guessed my question:
Is there any sense in allowing the wee chap to mate with my healthy ladies?
He carries the genes that grew a 991-pound pumpkin.
