Seeds available
Greetings, fellow pumpkineers!
Ah, the snow has flown, and the seeds are now nice and dry!
I'm a second year grower, and
I have available free seeds from some Atlantic Giants
I grew this year and last. We had an unusually cool summer
and I started the seeds 3 weeks late this year, but I
still wound up with some nice ones.
Here's what I've got...
411* Inzero 00 -Won squash division at Oswego weighoff
285 Inzero 00 EST orange pumpkin
240 Inzero 99 UOW orange pumpkin
348 Greene 98 EST orange pumpkin (very few left)
Photos are available of my fruit and growing season

Background of these seeds:
============
411 Inzero 00* (* denotes "squash")
I wanted a really-green AG squash for Halloween, and I saw pix online of
Andy Wolf's 535* (squash) from 1999. Andy's seed proved true to its parent,
throwing the desired nice green fruit from flower to finish. The 411 was a
5 lobed flower. It was a big green sphere (very symmetrical) all season
long, and it weighed an amazing 21% heavy to the OTT chart. I won the
squash division of the Oswego weighoff with it this year.

285 Inzero 00 EST
A light orange fruit. The 285 is a 4 lobed self-pollinated
417 Andrews 99. It started out really barrel shaped for a while
(until just over 200 lbs.), then the blossom end tapered as it
grew bigger (as seen on web site). Unusual protruding blossom end.

============
240 Inzero 99 UOW
A nice orange, nicely shaped, symmetric fruit with smooth skin,
just like its parent was.
Grown from the 771 Fortin seed, which won the Oswego weighoff in 98.
Medium orange, uniform color. This fruit was fast growing- 31 inches
in circumference at 10 days! 5 lobe flower, self-pollinated.
1999 was my first year growing, and this one plant grew 525 pounds
of pumpkins.

============
348 Greene 98 UOW
A blocky, flattened orange fruit.
I'm not positive the flower was protected, but there were no other plants
nearby.
