think but can you please explain to me WHY such an incredibly knowledgeable grower such as Geneva Emmons would confuse a young grower by double pollinating a pumpkin.
Ummmm......because she didn't pollinate and grow the fruit with YOU in mind??? (hee-hee...thats the smart-ass response) . the polite response is : when faced with a situation where there's only one male flower from the wanted cross the grower will often pollinate the female with whatever flowers are available....in this case it looks like the Franek and the LLoyd.....rather than not get complete pollination, she went safe and pollinated with both. Not all fruit are grown with creating a seed in mind. When you grow the seed Kevin...its anyone's guess if you are growing the seed with the same father that she grew...roll the dice Kevin !!!......G
