Growing these again this year..I find very little information on this plant on the web. Except that it has two very distinct shapes...round and flat and pear shaped the one in the photo. I'm documenting growth habits of the plant as well saving seed, I see that there is only one place to purchase seed. I got my seeds from Ferguson NC in Wilkes County from a person who didn't know what they were growing...they were called old timey field pumpkins, but I got a positive ID from an heirloom seed company. I'm really interested in knowing about the history of the squash. I've hit a brick wall with that. Does anyone grow it, know where the squash originated, it's genetic background or any tid bits about Mrs Amerson..And if you want to grow some, I will be sharing seeds of this beauty...I love these squash!
