Sweet Seeds

Ok, so without getting too detailed about the bird and bee thing, the seeds I just
planted had a mother and a father.

The mother of my seed was the 843 Heyne.  Not a notably huge pumpkin, but it
has a great background.  Its parents are both famous - the 1420.5 LaRue and
the 1446 Eaton.  This is the same seed genetics that Joe Jutras grew his world
record 1689 Jutras with in 2007.

I've seen the father of my seed, the 1290 Poirier, described as "The infamous
1290 Poirier ’07 is one of the classic dark orange fruit to date."

And the thinking is that color comes mostly from the father.  So I've got size
coming from the mother and dark orange from the father.

Sweet seed indeed!
