Good morning, Pumpkinistas!

I am often asked, where can I get pedigreed giant pumpkin seeds? Well, here's a great opportunity to purchase some great giant pumpkin seeds at a very reasonable price!

Here's the link: http://www.gvgo.ca/PECPG_sale_2009.html

"The Prince Edward County Pumpkin Growers (PECPG) are pleased to bring you their best seed offer ever. This is our main fund-raiser for the year. All proceeds go directly to fund the Wellington Weigh-Off. This year’s package includes 15 seeds!

Each set is $50.00 CDN or $50 USD for international customers (plus a $5 per order shipping and handling fee). That’s less than $4 per seed folks!

In addition, we are offering a limited number of proven seeds for sale individually. If you are not already a member of PECPG your purchase will include copies of the fall and spring newsletters.
