You can check my diary as I grew the seed this year. Nice orange pumpkin that unfortunately didn't get that big. It had a great start and then crapped out. I suspect it was from nutrient issues as I haven't had a soil test for some time and really need to get one. It carved up nice for halloween. It had orange flesh and no internal flaws and a lot of fat white seeds inside. I crossed it with the 1097.5 Beachy.

You should Brooks, maybe more. The 1068 as a pollinator can't miss, 1041 McKie, 1207 Young, 904 Stelts, no reason your 710 can't be as good or better.
