When will the seeds be available for the seed reqest? I always try to get a few different ones for my husband's stocking for Christmas. I missed it last year, they were all gone so fast!

Most of the seeds are still inside the Pumpkins. I would say sometime after Thanksgiving is always a safe guess.

Ken and/or John usually give a weeks notice on the board when the seeds will be posted. Like prevous post, wait till December, then start looking. Many growers will also send you seeds out of their fruits this year, if you ask.
Good Luck,
Mike

Yes, Mike is right. You can get seeds from almost all growers on here just for the asking!
Are you interested in any of my crosses?
801.5 Stelts 97 X self (224kg) 801.5 Stelts 97 X 1016 Daletas 01 (214kg) 783 Daletas 00 X 801.5 Stelts 97 (182kg) 582 Hester 01 X 801.5 Stelts 97 (151kg) 845 Bobier 00 X 801.5 Stelts 97 (141.5kg) 810 Dill 99 X 1016 Daletas 01 (122kg) 1016 Daletas 01 X 801.5 Stelts 97 (100kg) 810 Dill 99 X 801.5 Stelts 97 (small)
It should be mentioned to newer growers that seeds from smaller fruits theoretically have the same potential as seeds from the 1000/+lbs pumpkins. The only thing that counts is the cross!
Pictures of all pumpkins can be found in my diary entries from the last two to three weeks on Bigpumpkins.com. All were an awesome orange color and should even improve with the crosses I made. The only one that was not as deeply orange was the fruit on the 1016 Daletas as the vine rotted off and the pumpkin wasn't able to mature and orange up.
Best wishes, Martin

I'm looking for seeds from pumpkins grown South of the Mason Dixon.
