This is the start of a little experiment in LB land: Seeds in the pumpkin. I very carefully divided Spice Girl into regions and placed the seeds from each out separately. There were hardly any seeds at the blossom end- and those few that were there were the smallest. The stem end contained a few more than the blossom, however what was there are the second biggest in the pumpkin, (Visually, I am going to weigh all the different seeds and see which seeds are the heaviest from where.) The East side of the pumpkin contained the greatest number of seeds, and visually the thickest. The west side of the pumpkin was similar, but slightly less in size. The top of the pumpkin had hardly any. 'Top' being the side opposite the ground. This was the side that was tightly covered to protect pumpkin from the heat and sun in the greenhouse.
I will post seed weights when they are dry. I find it interesting that the East side, which gets the most sun had the most seeds, and the visually largest seeds.
