Can Anyone please send me some seeds?

Some one have send me about 10 seeds, but the postal serveice have been a bit rough on them and they were all cracked.

I live in South Africa and would like to see if I can also grow some big punkins like you do. From most of the articles that I have read it seems that I should plant the Atlantic Giant variety. Is this correct?

Summer is just about starting now and if I can get some seeds in the next few weeks I will still be able to grow some monster punpkins.

If you can supply me with some seeds you can E-mail me at
petrus@kgs3.agric.za

Thanks- Petrus Delport

petrus,
try germinating a couple of those seeds. a crack in the shell doesn't always mean they're no good...that is unless they're in two pieces!?!!

I did an expirament with broken seeds last year. I had 14 of 15 germinate with only the pointed half. Just dip the seed in Daconil, and see what they do if they are broken in 2 pieces.

Duff and Tom.
Thank you for the reply.
I`ve tried to get them to grow, but the machine that sorted the post really had its way with those seeds( they were not packed in a bubblepack envelope )

The seed have swelled in the water, but that was it.
I got restless after 3 days and opend one of the seeds to see whats going on inside.... They were all full of mildew and a puss like substance.

It could also have been old cracked seed that the person have send me. I cannot complain about it, because I have not paid for it, but I had some really big hopes for that seed.
