Hi Darren, I would be happy to take a few seeds off you hands. Please let
me know where to send a SASE for you to use.
Thanks,
Ron Fine
P.S. I also tried to grow a big one this year from seeds purchased from
Home Depot that claimed to grow a 150 lb. pumpkin but I only got several
45lb. pumpkins. My first attempt so I am looking forward to next year to
try some better seeds.
