like i said in the past,i will not trade seed that people have given me,i have done a lot of trading with other things that i had that people wanted vehicles, farm equipment,i have required some great seed by doing this,i will trade those seed only,bubble packs i have sent a few out and have been sent some great seed,seed that the top growers would love to have,i have posted my address on bp for seed and people send me seed,last night on chat i had people accusing me of stuffing 20 dollar bills in bubble packs,yes i have put money in some but only to the canada growers for postage,1 dollar,and i had a top notch grower say there is no way i could have the seed i posted because he dont even have any that good,but i should not have to explain to any one where i get my seed,i do enough arguing with my wife about pumpkins supplys,so so long i will see ya all next spring when picture time comes again,hopefully no one will argue with me about a picture i post.

Heavy hitter grow them big bud sorry if I hurt your feelings. I just hate to see you get burnt by buying a seed collection which might be fake. I would hate to see a begining grower with your drive to grow a big one get his reputation ruined by trading fake seeds that you had no idea that they where fake.I've know alot to growers that don't have the seed collection you mention in an earlier post.Before you trade those seeds make sure they are real.Other than the top growers in our sport I don't think they even have that many good seeds. One last coment I think you would be crazy to grow them all in one season. It seems to be a waste of the best seeds out there you don't have the time to grow all 35 plants right even being a farmer I know farmers work hard but don't lose the farm by triing to grow that many top seeds. To grow them right you have to figure an half an hour to an hour a plant a day per plant. best of luck mark

ok guys, i appreciate your concern,but i am 39 years old ,i have been around selling and buying things all over the world,that is why i said i will not trade seed that people and growers give me,i will only trade certain seed,that i have grown are have traded personal items from me to a well known growers,like the 845 bobier is the only seed i have ever offerd to trade,which was given to me by a trade and a great grower,i just do not like to give out names of growers i trade with,that is between me and them,but you are right about how many seed i will plant 15 at most.thanks
