Title: Jumbo Pink Banana - DP HELP!!!
Post by: Diana on August 21, 2006, 15:53:24
If Doris Pinks reads this - what pumpkin / squash did you grow lasy year? I'm trying to figure out the parentage of some of the self-saved Jumbo Pink Banana seed you gave me. :P

So far...the biggest one is the size of a large beachball + looking more like a jumbo pink harlequin!

If anyone overheard me down there just now they must have thought I was a loon, everytime a moved a leaf I found a fruit (not just the JPB) that looked nothing like anything I'd sown. Had me in stitches. ;D

Please let me know, I'd love to do some sleuthing

Do take pics, would be interested to see what you have ended up with, sound like fun,  we could have created a new and wonderful squash ;D
