Hi all, I appreciate that I am being very very cheeky here as I have nothing whatsoever to trade, I'm sorry about that.

I'm frustrated grower for the last three years where I have only had pumpkins approaching a couple of hundred pounds, mostly because I think the seed I have been supplied with has not been the best. I know my growing methods and soil are good as I grow many other veg very well, but I would really like to grow a giant Pumpkin before I completely lose heart and give up.

I will be trying to bid for seeds in the auction later today but I may not be successful, what is my best option to obtain a good seed, given that I have nothing to trade?

two excellent suggestions are from the Wiz at Rocky Mountain Giant Pumpkin Growers and Phil and Jane Hunt from The GVGO Giant Vegetable Growers of Ontario (Canada). Both clubs send out 2 or 3 newsletters a year with great tips on how to grow Giants and both clubs send out seeds to their members!
