Re: Seeds


Ryan, Randy and List:

    I will again make seeds available for anybody that wants them this year.  
As anybody knows that has ever sent seeds out, it is a lot of work.  The 
harvesting, drying, packing the envelopes, is extremely time consuming.  Last 
year I sent out over 80 requests.  The worst part is writing out the seed 
crosses on the little envelopes.  Anyhow, what I am asking everyone that 
would like seeds Please send a self address bubble envelope and two dollars 
or send five dollars and I'll take care of the envelope and postage.  For an 
additional $69.00 and $7.00 postage or 12 dollars Canadian I'll include one 
of my Reynolds lifting tarps!  These tarps are proven to 1190 lbs. and 1131 
lbs.  Larry and Gerry, I got to know, was my tarp on the Letterman show 
hiding under the beautiful material they had flowing around the base of your 
World Record pumpkin?  
    These are the seeds crosses available this year, if you want something 
from last year let me know. Please list your choices in order, I'll try to 
accommodate as supply dictates. As you know some pumpkins have lots of seeds 
and some don't. If you get an envelope with one seed, I did not have many or 
many people wanted that cross. I will send at least 3 different crosses to 
everyone.

Well, have fun studying the list!!! Weights were not impressive this year. 
(drought) Pick the ones with the Genetics you want. No charge to the growers 
who sent me these seeds last year, just let me know what you want and I'll 
send them out.
