Irradiating the seed won't hurt them. I was planning on trying to mutate them before I planted them this year and was told by dept. of agriculture that they mutate the plants, not the seeds because the seed coat is too hard to penitrate.

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.
On the subject of seeds, i am worried about mailing them. If they are irradiating the mail this could kill seed or make them mutate maybe. Any other thoughts on sending seeds and should we mail them right now?? I would hate seeds to by killed in the mail.
