I have a plot set aside this year for growing special pumpkins and selfing
them. I plan on "saving" the seed of the selfed ones for future use. I
have an extra drop in deep freeze that is running 3/4 empty and would be
able to store lots of seeds. If anyone wants to have their favorite seeds
selfed and "archieved" I would do it for them. The we could make the
seeds available for later use. If anyone is interested please let me know.
I suppose depending on the individual, the seeds could be available for
anyone to use or limited just to the grower. Just a though.
Let me know if your interested,
Rick
