I'm just now getting around to looking for seeds for next season. I've gotten reinvolved, after a two year break, in growing pumpkins again. The county office I work at had a pumpkin contest, they provided the seeds, that I won easily with only a 90 pound pumkin, that I didn't spend alot of time on.
Now that these folks know what's possible they'd like me to train them. I'm not sure I'm the best person to train them, but there may not be anyone better in the area, so I'll do my best. I got a pumpkin contest going among the master gardeners when I lived in Southern Oregon several years ago, and it was alot of fun.
I'd like to have some reasonably good seeds for them to compete with, and I'll try to train them on how to grow. It should be alot of fun for everyone. I live in Clatsop County in northwest Oregon. Some growers live right on the coast, some of us farther inland.
If you have any seeds left, please let me know, or if anyone in the group has seeds, again please let me know. It's so much more fun when I'm not the only one growing. If anyone responding needs me to send an envelope, let me know.
