Re: How big are they?
Robert a lot of the list members not all are willing to send you seeds from
their pumpkins. Most growers only have room for a 2 or 3 plants, so they
don't have room to grow all there own seeds that they have produced this
year. What I've learned most of your experienced growers try to grow proven
seeds. So they want to give away seeds to see how they will do the following
year if their is a lot of big ones grow from that seed everyone will want to
grow it.the next year. If you or anyone else want seeds just email me for my
address. check out www.bigpumpkins.com that site will walk you threw
everything to help grow the big one. best of luck mark
