It All Begins with the Seed

My seeds have arrived from my friend Dave in Minnesota. I am super excited about this year's pick. The mother pumpkin my seed came out of wieghed 974 pounds (pumpkins always grow bigger up north than here).

I've seen one of the parent seeds of that pumpkin included in seed auctions, and the other has been named one of the "Twelve Seeds to Watch" for 2007!

Serious growers treat pumpkin genetics as serious business. A top quality, proven seed can cost the grower more than the old pickup truck they haul the pumpkin to competition in!
