Hello everyone,

Wondering other than the 2350, what are some of the most consistent seeds with the best shape (2114, 2139, 2005, 2624, 2517 Mendi, 2363, 2356 Booth, etc all have that shape I am talking about) that isn’t totally white (at least some orange). I am tired of growing front leaners, wheels, butt draggers, and this is the last year for me to grow for a while before I go to college so I want to end on a high note for the 2022 season. I only have space to grow one main plant so that is why I am so hung up about picking the perfect one.

Thanks all!

Pumpkin Nerd, I love your bp handle. Great name. A lot of the front leaner pumpkins can be corrected early on by adjusting the sand under the pumpkin and trying to keep the blossom scar level to the stem. Really tall wheels may be impossible to correct for the whole season. They will do what they will do. Maybe less lobes would be better too.

I like a lot of the 2112 Skinner offspring for big and orange with a long low shape.

The 2,110 Platte (1885 Werner x 1686 Stelts (5% heavy) 2021
Big, long and very orange. I don't recall what the 1686 Stelts looked like but this seed has tons of potential.

Look at what the seed produces not what the mother looks like. The 2350 is a good choice in my book.. the 2261 Schmit also produces nice orange pumpkins.
