I thought I told all my secerts. It must be luck. My seeds are having
trouble at this time. I have just received my new issue of the "The Main
Vine" and Jack LaRue provides an excellent article on "Starting Pumpkin
seeds". It provides some tips on making a seed germination box and methods
to increase your seed germination. I guess now I have to go out and file
my seeds down. ....So Uncle Bill, How did you do it?

More info on the Pacific Northwest Giant Pumpkin Grower's, please see
http://www.eskimo.com/~mcalpin/rem.htm  Some of the words are from S.
Cramer. Thanks for the words.

I cant believe I have to go and file my seeds.

I will revise the Record page to include Tennessee, certian Provinces of
Aussie land, Italy, Japan and Alaska.
