I never thought about it Tony, but your growing season ends at the wrong
time for Halloween!If it wasn't for that holiday, I don't know what I would
do with some of my pumpkins :)As far as big seeds go, my 500lb pumpking from
last year grew from what I thought were unusually small seeds from a 350lb
pumpkin I grew the year before.I have a feeling seed size Doesn't have a
whole lot to do with what grows out from it.
