Yes its that time of year again........seed requests......
1. send e-mail requesting seeds in a polite fashion 2. small note requesting seeds with a PLEASE attached
3. no double bubble-pacs
4. enclose either a Bubble-pac with sufficient postage for area being mailed from..example USA stamps don't work in Canada vs versa no Canadian stamps for USA mailing
5.send smallest bubble-pac available...no need for those huge ones.
Yes I have been guilty of forgetting a note on occcasion...its a privilige to receive seeds not a right...yes we can forget requests sometimes so I intend to keep a journal this year .......this was not meant to pis? anyone off just what I have heard from other growers......thank you

Do you have extra seeds Wayne? I kept some this year out of my 400 pounders....but wonder if I should get seed out of something larger..... Would it be advisable to plant seeds from a pumpkin that small? I am not 100 % sure of the parentage of my seeds but they would have to be a cross between a 770 van (mother plant) and either a 695.8 Van a 945 Van or a 640.5 Gardner. Both pumpkins were pollinated by bees. Ones blossem opened up when I was away and the other was a surprise, found under the leaves. I will also have seeds from my 640.5 gardner crossed with any of the above. Would anyone be interested in these seeds? (It takes two Canadian first class stamps for the small bubble packs) if mailed in Canada.

3. no double bubble-pacs
To avoid this, KEEP LOGS. I never did before, I always will now. It'll save much aggravation....
