Looking for the parentage of the 140 Crews 2015. Not in pumpkin fanatics.

From diaries it looks like maybe the 197 MacKinnon may have been the mother? Was 211 the pollinator?

140 Crews grew the 142.5 Kapelari which i think the 142.5 grew the 191 kapelari.

Thank you. Just got the 191 Kapeleri at auction so wanted to find out it’s family tree.

Just an FYI both John K and I grew 144 lb Fps off of the 191. We also both grew pumpzini’s off of the 191. John grew a zucchini that year and it must have crossed somehow. The 191 I grew my 144 on was only about 50 square ft with no care at all so it’s still a good bet. You’ll know right away because the pumpzini is very bushy at first.

Just to add, and no disrespect to the 191, I started two 191's and both were what I am going to nick name Zuccikins. Seems like a 50/50 chance by the sounds of things what you may get.

There have been a lot of zucchini like fruit from that seed. I know of a few others too.
I added some pics to my 2020 diary.

Just to make things clear, all field pumpkin/marrow or field pumpkin/zucchini crosses will be disqualified by the new GPC rules.

Pumpkin/marrow cross plants will look totally normal, and as Don correctly says, pumpkin/zucchini crosses will likely be bushy, like the zucchini.
