Hi Martin;
I saw this email to Chris and decided to contact you. This is my first
time at trying to grow big pumpkins, I just need a good seed to start
with. As I know nothing about the cross and such, if I mailed you a
bubble pack and the $4 for postage could I get a seed or two from you to
get started with.

The only thing that counts is the cross!

made. The only one that was not as deeply orange was the fruit on the 1016
Daletas as the vine rotted off and the pumpkin wasn't able to mature and
orange up.
