If anyone knows where I can get some seeds from Gerry Checkon's World Record please let me know. I am trying to get some of these seeds for my dad and I am willing to pay dearly for them. If this is an impossible feat, can someone steer me in the direction of some seeds from any 1000+ pounder? Thanks for your help.

I met Gerry Checkon and her husband Larry this weekend.
Gerry told the riviting story of their world champion pumpkin growing season. Larry confirmed that "Moonie" the 1131 Checkon did not devolope a single mature seed. He express great disapointment over this. Larry also said that he grew a pumpkin over 1200lbs that split early in the season. He only got a couple of seeds from this pumpkin. Most experts that have been asked why this happend agree that it must be do to the very high levels of nitrogen in their garden, causing the fruits to grow rapily, but delaying maturity.
