Re: Long Gourds & Seeds

i think it would be wise not to mail them for the time being, perhaps someone should contact the dept and find out, maybe send a few to ourselves and then test germination, they could still be altered genetically though maybe??

Subject: Long Gourds & Seeds

A few years ago i grew some of these about 8 feet in length.  I wanted some for this year but the seed i got from p&p failed.  I contacted them about this but got no response, before i try there seeds again, i wondered if anyone on the list could spare me a few seeds, ideally i'd like them from 80"+ in length.  I hope this isn't too much of a tall order.  You are welcome to seeds from my pumpkins in return.
