<< 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??
Thanks, Roy in s/e WYO.

Roy,
Keep the male flowers off the casper until you have set fruit on the
atlantic giant. I'd wait and plant the casper a month after the A giants.
