Anyone who could help me with seeds for a group of five friends, who live in the same area in Michigan. We compete in the local fair in August. In the last two years our biggest pumpkin was 127 lbs. We share seeds, so I would like enough seeds for five people to have a few plants each.We're all kind of new to this, but would love to try some bigger pumpkins. Please e-mail if you can help for a reasonable price . Thanks yokolady

If you all compete, yokolady, the most interesting thing to do would be to grow the same seed and see who grows biggest. This would surely give bragging rights to the biggest.

I would be willing to donate the same seeds to each of you and see who grows largest. I have several crosses to choose from:

568 Gerchy....a self-pollinated 808.5 Gibson(grew over 1200 pounds last year)
844 Gerchy DMG....1186 Wallace x 559 Liggett
805 Gerchy....1030 Armstrong x 664.5 Liggett
811 Gerchy....664.5 Liggett x 1030 Armstrong
590 Gerchy....1069.5 Liggett x 1029 Kurilich

Also, you may have some of this year's as yet unweighed Gerchys: 811 x 559 Liggett(measures over a thousand)
and 1177 Conley x 668 Hampp(measures 915 pounds).

Just e-mail me.

P.S....no charge. It would be fun to track the progress of you all next year.
