Hi Dave,
Thanks for the response. If I have seed from a 1000lb+ pumpkin, and only
happen to grow a 200lb pumpkin, does the seed from the 200lb pumpkin still
have the capability to grow past the 1000lb mark as good as the seed from the
1000lb pumpkin? If so, I'll have some seed that I can share as well. I
bought it from P and P from a really good pumpkin--I'll have to check which
seed I bought b/c I forget. I'd like to try all kinds of different seed
crosses though b/c I'll have plenty of space and better health this upcoming
season.
