 We just cut open the 360# my husband grew this year, and about 2/3 of the
 seeds were immature.  This P didnt set until the 3rd week in August, and
 grew right up to picking day October 16th.  Could it be that this P had a
 lot more growing to do yet, and thats why the seeds are immature, or what
 could have caused this?
 
 We had another one, 258#, with a much thicker rhind, that had mostly mature
 seed in it, and it set after the biggest P, but stopped growing around the
 first of October.   It never developed ribs or anything, and we didnt do
 anything special to it, unlike the 360# which we babied.
 
 Just looking for an opinion.
 
 Also, do you think the seeds that looked mature will grow?  What is your
 experience with this, anyone?
 
 Thanks !
 
 Kathy

Hi Kathy.  The pumpkins must go full term to allow the seeds to mature.  They
will most likely grow, but i don't think you'll  get any giants from them.  In
my opinion.
