What seed or mix would you use to grow a nice round orange pumpkin. I want it to at least reach 300 lbs. I only have seeds from 2003 and older.

I have way too many seeds and I am getting ready to mail them to Big Pumpkins.com or one of the clubs so they can benefit from them because I do have a few nice ones. All I need to keep is just a few.

But before I do that I want to make sure that I keep the right ones to grow some nice round orange pumpkins.

Thanks,
Diane

Aside from the 801.5 Stelts consider keeping your 869.5 Calai seeds as well.
Best of luck!

Diane,

What ever happened to that 895.5 Hester I sent you a few years back when you wanted to grow green?
