So my pumpkins were eaten by deer 3 days before harvest. Hurt, but the positive was that I caught it in time to harvest several trays worth of seeds. I cleaned them up and put them in storage down in the basement. Well, my wife goes downstairs this morning for something, comes up and asks what I did with the trays of seeds that I was drying. I guess we have some mice in our basement.... Not a single seed left except for 1 rotted one that they didn't want to eat... Had a great year growing and nothing but a disaster since... The joys of this hobby....
So, who has seeds for next year?....... Cause I don't anymore...

Maybe they hoarded them for the winter, if you can find their nest. Jim

By better I mean if youre going to lose a pumpkin, you might as well do it early and save yourself all that work. :)

Hi gatzow, Dont worry, join a club and they will send you some awesome seeds for next year. (PGVG will have some very great seeds in their membership packages this year).

Great, thank you. I have killed 6 mice and counting. Doesn't give me my seeds back, but makes me feel better a little....
