Re: Seeds, Help
Stop the begging! Seeds for the price of postage of a self addressed
bubble pack are the way to go. Put that in an envelope, and send it to
my address listed below, and I will send you some great genetic based
seeds, some of mine, and some I have recieved from others that I will
just plain ol never get to because you can only plant so many seeds in a
year.

As for the P and P seeds ( http://www.pandpseeds.com ) and Howard Dill
seeds (http://www.howarddill.com ), they get a tainted name because alot
of thier buyers are first time growers, and like you stated, could be
blamed on rookie mistakes. The best purchase from one of these two
companies is Don Langevin's book, "How to Grow World Class Giant
Pumpkins II" , as it tells you how to do it step by step. Yes, sometimes
seeds dont germinate, not too many have a 100 percent germination
success, but these are the chances we take. Howard and Ray work hard at
promoting the hobby, and by selling the massive amounts of seeds they
do, well, have a much higher public profile to be viewed as you have
labeled them - which just isnt true.
I wish you the best of luck, do what you have to do, my seeds are there
for the offering for anyone who may want some.
