Hi Folks -

Here's the rundown for this year:

Unfortunately, the 2365 didn't have a great seed count so if you haven't contacted me yet about planting it, the supply is pretty much tapped out. Auction requests will start going out Monday. I would encourage people to support the auctions and the ovgpg seed sale.

The 2365 / 1797 / 1787 / 1212 will be the standard set sent out, with some variations. The 1212 was the only pumpkin pollinated with my big one.

The 1617, 1117, 986, and 896 were sold and seeds were not able to be retrieved.

The 1398, 1357, 978, 1220, 1040, and 906 are available on request for planting but will otherwise be used for new grower seed programs.

Andy! Congratulations on your great year. Is it possible you know of any large wheel/tractor tire shaped pumpkins I can get some seeds from? Prefer good color. Sorry I missed you at the Durham Fair. Was not feeling well and just wanted to blend into the crowd.

I suppose some 'Blossom-Down' growing technique should be utilized to accentuate the circular nature of what is needed:

VERY hard to have not spent an hour musing through Gritty's Diarie(s) - such a diverse library of veggie-growing interests! eg
