It Looks Like a Normal Seed

But that's just because you can't see the untamed fury that's about to be unleashed!

The seed for 2008 is the 1112 Holland 2006. That means that the noted grower Joel Holland grew a 1,112 pound pumpkin in 2006, and these seeds came from that fruit.

My pumpkin buddy Lee gave me these seeds (he's an excellent grower from south Georgia). Thanks a lot, Lee!

Pumpkin genetics is Very Serious Business. I know all 32 great great grandparents of this seed. Much more than I know about my own family tree, as my loving wife points out. It's got Bobier genes in its bloodline, as well as Chekon and Calai ancestors - of course.
