The "Great Pumpkin" Free Seed Giveaway!

In a previous post, I had various pictures of the pumpkin that someone had discarded. I wanted it simply because it was gigantic! It was so heavy that I could barely get it into the truck! I hadn't seen a pumpkin that large before, so I couldn't resist getting it for the seeds.

As I shared with readers at that time, I wanted it in order to open it and harvest the seeds. I had been reading about seed saving and this looked like a great opportunity to harvest some.

When opened, it was cavernous inside. I wanted to get a size comparison picture so I used a regular ballpoint pen. Quite a comparison!

I washed the seeds thoroughly and spread them on a kitchen towel to dry. I dried them for a few days, turning them frequently. You can see the penny in the center for size comparison.

I expect that these are perfectly good seeds. I have no idea how much room the vines will need to grow, but I think it will be substantial. If you have sufficient room, why not give it a try?

So here's the deal. I packaged the seeds into 14 envelopes labeled:

"Very Large Pumpkin Seeds -2010 -12 seeds"

The first fourteen people that email me at veggiegardenblogger@gmail.com to request the seeds by providing their return mailing address will have one sent to them at no cost. I just want to share the seeds of this Great Pumpkin! When they all have been distributed, I will let everyone know that the supply has been exhausted. If 12 seeds are more than you need, share the excess with your friends that have sufficient space to grow them.

Thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to hearing from you!
