I am looking for some porche(Can't spell) pumpkin seeds. There are so many to choose from....I will be growing them up a trellis so nothing more than 50 lbs...I would like it to look pretty too..I plan on making the trellis very very sturdy.

gpp,if you grow a large variety you can make a sling for the pumpkins.I've grow some 60-80 lb. gourds and they do fine as long as the sling is strong enough

A lot of pumpkin kinds in the trellis can grow. With some help, everything goes. Whether Lunga di Napoli, Tonda Padana, Marenka..... Here a link to my pictures, that harvests from 2008.
