2025 is the year of the white pumpkin! I think I'll be planting the 1296.3 Akatsuka (Nicolas) which is this 1688 Paton x self. It checks all the boxes for me: genetics, color, and it did well in 150 sq ft.
But I also want to grow my 1677 squashkin '23 in an attempt at a big squash. But that project might have to wait. I can only spend an hour a day or so on gardening stuff.
What if I crossed these two pumpkins? No one has ever bred a pumpkin to be a "150 sq ft. winner." Its probably just silly but there's always something new to try. Who really knows what is or isnt going to work.
