"Ginny pig"? Hmm.... Anyway, why are you dictating to people whether to grow
or experiment with my seeds or not?! Dang, I think it is up to them, don't
you? I am certainly not hiding the fact that the parent plant had a viral
infection for those seeds. I think a lot of people might be interested to see
if it could be transmitted via seed.
Besides I have one good batch of seed from my biggest pumpkin that did not
have the virus whatsoever, so it obviously has a strong resistance to it. A
trait that would lie undiscovered if my other plants would not have all had
the virus.
