Re: Seed vs climate
LOL, if you find a seed that has/can produce several
+800 pound pumpkins, IN TEXAS, I think I would be
planting that seed. Better yet, you find it and I
WILL plant it. BF
PS. Any AG seed with solid genetics behind it will
serve you well. Your work lies in preparing the best
soil you can and fighting off the stresses your plants
will encounter throughout the season. Good luck!
