Wife unit bought a yuge pumpkin last fall for the yard decorating. It was about 75 lbs.
When done with it I saved the seeds and have planted a few of them in small pots to sprout. I have no idea the variety.

But now I wonder if they will reproduce true or be something crappy because of cross breading or hybrids.

Should I not waste my time and space with them, or is it worth following through? If the odds are not in my favor I may just forget planting them, toast and eat the rest and call it a day.

Thanks

EDIT to change: huge to yuge

I suspect they will not produce anything yuuuge.

When I was a kid my mom used to roast them on a cookie sheet with some salt. Yummy

IMHO just roast them.
You plant one hill of seeds and it will take over a hundred square feet or more.
You can manage it to grow only one pumpkin,meaning you have to prune it almost daily.

Personally, I'd save a few of the seeds and grow at least one of them to see, just as a fun project. They aren't hard to grow but take some space.

If I was purposely trying to get another 75 pounder, though, I'd order some specific giant variety seeds and dedicate my efforts and space to those.

Yea prolly not worth the trouble. I used to grow a lot of cantaloupes, planted at the edge of the garden and directed them to grow out into the surrounding yard. I would mulch with straw and move them and mow until they got to big to move around etc but it was a pain. I expect pumpkins would be even worse.

My yuge pumpkin seeds produced yuge pumpkins. I finally ended up digging the plant out, it kept spreading when I didn't pick the pumpkins.
