I have 2 pumpkin seeds from a pumpkin that weighed over 1000 lbs. (got seeds from trade) Want to grow a huge pumpkin, then these are the seeds. PLMK, John

I have a nice stash of seeds saved from our largest Howden's pumpkins we carved last year and was hoping to trade for a few different things 1. Hot peppers, as in really really hot chilis.I think Jalapenos are more sweet than spicy so I like the chili taste better 2. Cosmos-Picotee or Seashell 3. Zinnia- Green Envy 4. Sunflowers with a deep red tinge 5. Any heirloom watermelons or muskmelons with a short maturation time, smaller fruited ones preffered too Just lemme know if anyone is interested in the pumpkin seeds and has some neat and unusual seeds, or specific ones I am looking for and would like to trade. Thanks, ~Evin

hi all, I ve got seeds from Halloween pumpkins that I carved. I don t know the variety...they were all the regular orange type...medium size. Anyone interested? S

gr8heather, I thought I could find a helpful answer for you, but this may not be helpful. What you need is someone who understands this much better than I do, but I figured I should post the links to help you or the expert who might happen along. Best of luck! These vendors say it's hybrid: http://www.gurneys.com/product.asp?pn=80662 http://www.gourmetseed.com/product/PK14/Pumpkin-One-Too-Many-F1-Hybrid.html http://www.osborneseed.com/product-details.cfm?pumpkin--one-too-many-f1 Neither Jung nor Reimer mention it being hybrid, but list it as PVP or PVP applied for. https://www.jungseed.com/dp.asp?pID=03289&c=138&p=One+Too+Many+Pumpkin http://www.reimerseeds.com/one-too-many-pumpkins.aspx PVP means you can't legally propagate it and sell seed or plants; I don't know if you can propagate it and sell fruit legally from seed you've saved. But in any case, if it's really PVP, then the variety must be open-pollinated rather than hybrid. This info makes me wonder if the vendors who call it F1 have a lawsuit in their future. http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/crops/00301.html http://www.iphandbook.org/handbook/ch10/p11/ And then there's Rupp (never heard of them before), who say nothing about hybrid or PVP: http://www.ruppseeds.com/divvegetable/onetoomany.htm?mnu=4 If you don't get a response here, you might also try the Vegetables forum.
