GW member hollyhillfarm has Mammoth Pumpkin seeds for trade. Hit him up to see if he's interested. :)

I have big blue hubbard and ambercup seeds I can share with you for SASE. Send me an email if interested.

Thank you both for your attentive answer to my inquiry. I don't have too much issue with the SVB. They usually destroy my first crop of zucchini right around the time I get tired of picking 5 or 6 new squash every 2 or 3 days... I just pull the plants and start new ones in their spots and by the time I am missing having zucchini, they are back in business again! They also usually take out my pumpkins (regardless of the type) before I get more than 1 (sometimes 2) nice pumpkins from the vine. It's sad, and unfortunate but I don't really mind. I might have to stick with moschata types though, since I was able to harvest 4 nice sized butternuts without any attention being given to them last summer (lots of traveling, little time for gardening). As far as the ability to get creative with my plants... The area I grow them in my tiny little yard is right next to the south side of my house. It is the farthest corner of my yard from my backdoor, and it is very warm there - reflection off the WHITE exterior of my wall certainly helps, I think. Anyway, this area is about 9 feet wide by 12 feet long. I put a bed in there, shaped like an "E". The Backbone of the "E" runs along the side of my house and is 12 feet long. The backbone is about 3 feet wide. Then the "spokes" coming off the E are each about 4 feet long and about 2.5 feet wide. This gives me just enough space to be able to access each area via a walkway. Two of the spokes have 7 foot trellises "permanently" in place. The trellises are 10 feet long 4x4's from recycled wooden pallets, with a cross brace and nylon garden netting for the vines to grow up. Last year this space was used for onions (the base of the E - no trellis), a cheyenne bush pumpkin (I got one nice sized pumpkin from it) and two butternut squash plants. The area got completely overgrown with weeds, as I was unable to really get in there to tend it given my schedule this past summer, but I still got 4 nice sized butternuts out of it. No weeding, no watering, etc. I just went back there to harvest when the time was right. So, creativity wise, I think I have it covered (although I'd be interested to hear other suggestions). I have another area I "could" run the vines if necessary, but that area has been decided will become a "naturalized" flower bed for my wife. The bed will kind of hide the squash vines running up and over the trellising from the street view. So, I don't want to actually have the plants running on the ground in there... kind of defeats the purpose.

I've got the following: (year "packed for") [quantity per trade] Brassicas —Vates Blue Curled Kale (2015) [25] —Red Acre Cabbage (2015) [25] —Red Giant Mustard (2015) [25] —Green Wave Mustard (2015) [25] —Purple Top White Globe Turnip (2015) [25] —White Stem Pak Choi (2015) [30] —Canton Pak Choi (2015) [30] —Georgia Collards (2016*) [30}---have to check if these have dried out yet Lettuces —Cimmaron (2015) [50+] —Red Salad Bowl (2015) [50+] —Salad Bowl (2015*) [25+] —Red Sails (2015*) [30+] —Green Ice (2015) [50+] —Butterhead (2015) [50+] —Merveille de Four Seasons (2015) [50+] —Green Curled Ruffec Endive (2015) [30+] Umbellifers —Hollow Crown Parsnips (2015) [30+] I'd consider swapping your choice of the above for some of the squash—pink banana, delicata, patty pan depending on the color, maybe one of the yellow zucchini, and the black beauty zucchini. I could be persuaded to take the Kabocha and/or LI Cheese if you want a whole bunch of things from my list.
