Yes it is against the pvp to sell Dill's seeds in the USA. Was this pumpkin grown in 2000? To the best of my knowledge the heaviest offical one in Michigan during 2000 was 791 lbs. What local farmer grew the pumpkin?

There was an unofficial pumpkin grown in Michigan in 2000 that weighed 1079 lbs. I just bought the seeds from P&P. How is it that people auction seeds if they can't sell them?

You will notice that at all of the auction pages there's a "thanks to Howard and Danny Dill for allowing us to auction seeds" or something like that.You need permission from the PVP owner to sell seeds. Howard Dill has been very supportive of auctions that benefit the growers groups and clubs...which in turn support and increase the hobby.There are also links to Dills website.The PVP is like a patent. P+P is an authorized distributor.I like that 723 x 1009.5 cross too !.........Glenn A.

So when does the patent expire? 7 years comes to mind.
