Hello. This was my 2nd year growing Giant Pumpkins. I crossed the 1502 x 1689, and was able to grow a 224.8 pound pumpkin that had to be culled at Day 35 due to Vine Borers killing the plants. I was able to pull between 400-500 seeds. The bad thing is that I have tried to germinate 10 of them, and have only been successful in germinating 1 out of the 10. I don't know how many of the seeds are mature, since it was culled at day 35. If you are interested, please post your name here and send a SAS Bubble mailer to me, and I will send you a couple. Thanks.

You can see pictures of it at www.GiantPumpkinHelp.com

Brian,

I actually guessed the wrong grower and went over. I wish I would have won.

jeremy also look at the pointed part of the seeds the ones with the fullest ends are usually the most mature seeds. If ur only getting 1 in 10 to germinate u might concider spending those that want ur seeds at least that many thanks again Curt
