getting into it. The banter has already started in the pub in Eltham where
one of the two swears he will tell his grandkids off if they carry on
building a tree fort in his pumpkin plant. This starts the other one off and
there is no end to it!!! >>
John:
The seeds have great genetics, thanks to Al Eaton. The Kincaid 189 was an
Eaton 780 selfed, which was growing beautifully in my 98 patch here in FL
when I over watered due to severe heat, which rotted the vine in the ground.
Thankfully, the seeds were mature even though the fruit wasn't.
None the less, the genetics are still there and I expect you should have lots
of luck with it. Let me know if you need any more.
