Preparations are being prepared and arrangements are being arranged for my Big Squash Hybridization Project.
I already have a strain of squash that appears to be an accidental cross of pumpkin and butternut. I've germinated those along with pure butternut seeds and pure pumpkin seeds.
I've just planted those in proximity with each other in my planters. I'm waiting for my kabocha seeds to sprout. When those sprout, I'll plant them, too.
Once everything is growing, I will hand pollinate the flowers as they appear and see if I come up with some exciting new varieties.
Kabokin? Pumpumpernut? Kabumpkin? Buttocha??
We'll see!
