Re: Hey Rocky, wanna swap some seeds?
I would love to add your seeds to my seed list.. Also still have about 250 seeds
from each pumpkin I grew in 2000, so if any one is interested, this is last
post.. Send a postage paid bubble pack,self addressed, and I would be glad to
send you a pair of my seeds.. As inventory allows..
