Hi Team
Last year our best ever pumpkin was sent to the landfill while I was
away for a few days so seeds went with it. (A plaque of toads to those
who sent it there).
Our seed supplier in New Zealand has stopped supplying AG's and gone
instead to the Big Moon variety.
Our funding for festivals etc (I work for a local authority who pays for
the expenses of running the pumpkin grow/festival) has been
considerably reduced so there is a scarcity of good AG seed in New
Zealand. We do have some left over from previous years and some from the
pumpkin in my back yard BUT. We need some bulk seed (about 5 pound in
total) to get the population going. We expect 350 - 400+ growers as this
is our third year and we are quite famous throughout the land for our
'pumpkin grow'.
Could anybody send some spare seed please. The postal address is John
Sargeant, Parks and Recreation, South Taranaki District Council. PO Box
902, Hawera, New Zealand.
I can send a small NZ gift to those who are able to respond. Our Council
has seriously slashed budgets and I am determined that the annual
pumpkin grow and weigh - off, will not be a casualty.
Thank you in advance.
Have a 'Parky' day.
John S.

I will send 50 AG-480-97-GB seeds. They will arrive with a growth chart of
the parent and this years child to date.
George
P.S. To be fair I will have to send Wendy some too!
