Yep, thasme. I had planted my seed hoping for a squash but got a pumpkin
instead! Just thought that it was a strange irony because it usually
works the other way that someone plants a pumpkin, gets a squash and then
is disappointed with that. It was actually the 222Jaussi99* that gave me
this result. I probably should not be surprised, because of it's
parentage. I had planted a seed from the 879 Rockwell 98* (which you
know is 815 Anderson X self) and this produced the famous 222. The 222
Was pollinated by the 673.5 Wibberg/Cone (seeds generously donated to
myself by one zoodoo mills).
I planted the seed from the 222 squash and got a pumpkin this year. Go
figure! For some reason I thought that the squash gene was dominant. I
thought that if I crossed the squash with a big pumpkin, it would still
throw out squashes. Wrongola. Anybody else have this happen?
