I've been all over the internet looking for a seed company that sells "Phat Albert". Can anyone clue me in?

Thanks,.....Glenna

Kathy just sells them and gets new seeds to plant every year.There patch is just 30 min. away. I could see if she has a Phat albert but it would be open poll.

Nana, when you go to the next club meeting in Canfield there is a good chance to get some there. I talked to the guy who won that field pumpkin contest with that Phat Albert Pumpkin, and he said I could have seeds out of it. I dont think he has a computer but pretty sure he will be at the canfield meeting.

Nana, I been trying to find Tim Parks email address to ask them about these but no one seems to know it. If you know his email he would be the perfect person to ask about these seeds.

Thanks guys for the help! It's a mystery! I'm beginning to wonder if Phat Albert is a phantom! Branstrator Farms and Kathy's PP sell pumpkins, but not seeds. Branstrator said he has not been able to locate Phat Albert seeds. Yet they are on his pumpkin list. Hmmm. He said he buys "Phatso's" from Sieger's. Seiger''s lists Phat Jack! Hmmmm. Haven't heard back from Kathy's yet.

It figures I have to have a guy from VA tell me my own club sells them! Good idea, Brooks, to wait till the spring seminar.

Thanks cojoe & Vader. I'll e-mail you.
Not that this is of earth shattering importance. I just saw them at the Canfield weigh-off & thought they look pretty cool!!

those pumpkins had huge stems. i was wanting to see how big i could get one, so i selfed it..... but after the AGs took off, the other things took second place.

Ed...my comment was a slam at myself for not being smart enough to check my own club. I appreciate everyone's efforts. Thanks,....Glenna
