 Hi, I just signed up for the digest version of this list.  I have been growing giants for 3 years now.  My brother, who is also a grower got me into this, crazy hobbie.  I know suffer from Pumpkin-Fever!!  My biggest pumpkin was 308 last year.  I am looking for seed sources.  I have already ordered some from Howard Dill, but I am wondering if this is the only place to get seeds.  I have successfully spread my Pumpkin-Fever to several others here in Maine and am going to organize a small contest at our local fair this year.  Any suggestions?  I am in the Western Mountains of Maine and have a very short growing season, and would appreciate any suggestions.  I start my seeds inside, but because of frost I can not plant until the end of May.  I did use cold frames last year, but had a lot of trouble with powdery mildew.  I would appreciate any help.  Cheryl
