Re: lumina/casper cross?

If the only AG's allowed to grow in a patch such as this were the  carefully hand pollinated sort, the AG's would be safe,right? It would be anyones guess on the naturally insect pollinated fruits. I would not count on AG's flowering  well before anything. My AG's continue to produce male and female flowers through the end of August.
We did experience a white AG from accidently crossed seed a couple years ago. The fruit was an eerie white color, and grew to about 165lbs.

That's a very good question. I'll be waiting for an answer to that one too!

DILEMMA; I'm going to plant 2 hills of AGs this year, but one of my boys wants a
   couple of Lumina and/or Casper (white) pumpkin plants. Will these cross with
   AGs? Should I  plan for each variety to be planted  on opposite ends of the garden?
   There would then be about 100 feet between the two. Do I have any thing to
   worry about since I'm planning on the AGs flowering weeks ahead of the whites??
