Re: seeds
Chris,
Thanks for the E and info. I will keep my eyes peeled. When people
harvest seeds do they just crack the pumpkin open and then pull out the
seeds to dry? Is there a lot of cleaning that has to be done? Is there
a fair amount of seeds from a batch that don't produce or do most all do?
Once I grow some giants do I harvest the seeds each year and keep them
going year after year? If so, how do you improve your "gene pool"? I
guess I have a lot to learn and will keep my ears and eyes open. Thanks
again. I am REALLY looking forward to stepping into the pumpkin world!
