I hope I'm not too late.
I too would like to gather a few seeds for next season. I am trying to break
a personal best of 377lbs in 2003 and I am hoping to break 500lbs in 2005.
Can any one provide me with some seed?
Some of my story, if you're interested...
I live on the pacific coast of British Columbia Canada, and use sheep,
chicken and turkey manure blend for composting. My garden gets full sun all
day long, and I will likely grow 4-6 hills next year.
Up until the spring of 2003 I had been growing "off the shelf" seed and
always had a hard time getting close to 200 lbs. That's when I joined this
list, and noticed everyone was talking about all these different seeds. I
asked if I could have some. Thanks to several good folks on this list I was
immediately sent several packs of seed, more than I could use. I passed a
few on to friends and grew 3 pumpkins that year, all over 300lbs. This past
summer I used the left over seeds of the previous year. I didn't give the
pumpkins consistent care and then an incredible summer turned wet and cold.
My largest was 294lbs
My plan for 2005 is to break the 500lb mark. So far I've been the local
giant pumpkin champ and jack o lantern legend and I am hoping to attain new
heights in the coming season.
