Hy I am new at growing big pumpkins! This is my first season. I got some seeds from my neighbor and Friend Thomas R., this seeds are not bad, but for the next season I would have a very very big patch. Some of you have sent me some good seeds, but I need more good seeds with a good genetik, I have only 10 seeds with a wonderful genetik. I can plant about 23 plants next season (When I want..lol), so when anybody has some very good seeds left, please send me a mail! office@gaestehausschieder.at
( Sorry for my english, I am only 14 and I live in Austria!)

Welcome!

There are several good growers in Austria that can help you. Just a little tip: 23 plants is an awful lot. I would start with about 4 if I were you. Each plant needs about 60-80 square metres and a lot of time. Ten seeds with good genetics will be enough.

Hy Brad!
This season I have 10 plants, 4 by my home and 6 by my grandfather! I know that 23 plants are a lot and I think I would only plant 16 plants, but I have time for growing bp!
My Patch is big enought! With my 10 Plants I have not so much work, because I get the water from my lake with a pump and this is not so much work!
At this time I have a pumpkin who is 18 days old and he has 58,2 lbs and I think this is not so bad for Austria!
I need some good seeds because I would grow next season a very big pumpkin. My personal opinion is: When I would have about 16 plants, I would be very happy and I think this is not so much work!

Schiedi,
This fall there should be many, many seeds with awesome genetics avialable for just a SASBP.

Hy Eric
I would not plant all your seeds, only one or two, because I don't want to plant too much seeds from one grower! Your seeds are very good, but I will ask some other growers in the fall and then I would make some good crosses with your seeds!
