You might get a better response if you post your request on the "seed exchange" thread.

If they are for selling, you might want to ask for seeds that are likely to grow orange.

Most people will not purchase what they cannot carry, or handle.

Prizewinner Variety. Great for carving. Very productive.

I agree with Shannon that you would be better off growing something customers can carry. It takes a while to establish a giant pumpkin customer base. Outstanding seeds has some good seed varieties and several of them are in the 30-50 lb range if you want big Jack-o-lantern types.

Im willing to send a pack of AG seeds but I havent yet finished cleaning cupboards out. I've sold some big ones... but at the end of the day they are more of a novelty than a cash crop. Nothing wrong with having a few. Customers will appreciate having the choice... even though, yes, most choose the grocery store sized ones. Feel free to send me an email wsu underscore brandon at hotmail.

Wow, man, no giant pumpkins for this guy! I will be in touch from pumpkinpal@msn.com If I have anything, I'll have what you want, or at least, ones that I have grown and wanted to grow the next year upon seeing the initial results, lol!

My vision matches yours and I can send you ones to showstop as well as carstop! We'll talk more soon - Eric Gerry

eem sent. I, too SHOULD have a front yard extravaganza.
One year I had about 20 super-orange 200-400-pounders in the front yard, but as was said it takes a while and I am on a secondary road, just 600 feet from the main-er road, so, the few that I sold were still by word-of-mouth only, lol;
PRoduct+PResence+PRoximity+PeRsistence...may = PRetty good results, lol!
(+, less lawn to mow, if I were to PLay THAT card right)----eric g
