I know this has probably been asked, apologies for doing it again if so. Regarding cross pollination, what other type of squash can AG's cross with? I planted some gourds and squash and such in the garden and I'm curious even tho I plan to close pollinate. Thanks!

Thanks Shannon, I thought so. What about hopps? Jeez....

Hop laden beverages won't help, but a cold Guiness is still good while cross pollinating. Just don't have too many or you'll end up with zero AG's... ;)

Shannon was nice enough to give me a hop plant a few years back, it is taking over. Wish I knew how to brew, although that may be bad as I'm known to have a few here and there. Now if we could breed the AG's with the hops, I probably would need a safety line before going into the patch, it's bad enough as it is. There's nothing like a cold 12'er and a fly swatter during SVB time!
