Re: [seed questions]
Kevin-
Great to see a learned biologist interested in the giant pumpkins. I
have been working with giant pumpkins for several years. I am now at Carnegie
Mellon University studying Biology (particularly looking to get into molecular
biology and genetics). I am just a Freshman, but have high hopes.
Concearning the pumpkins, open pollination refers to when there was not a
controlled cross. Concearning what makes another seed better, that depends on
a lot of factors, and research. If you are interested in learning more, let
me know. Glad to help.
