(Howard Dill and Dill 892 2006)
Howard Dill's 2008 Premium Atlantic Giant Seeds!

Good evening, Growers!

It always helps to start with excellent seeds. If you've ever wondered how to get 'pedigreed' seeds from 1,000+ pound pumpkins, read on.

Howard Dill's 2008 Premium Seed list and order form are available now at http://www.howarddill.com/premseed.html It's mail order only, and they are in Canada, so the sooner you place your order, the better.

I had a great conversation with Danny Dill when I was placed my order for this season's supply of Atlantic Giant seeds for the giant pumpkin growing workshops and my own efforts. They have been great sponsors of Pumpkinmania since the earliest years. (Danny mentioned a couple of particularly intriguing seeds that are highlighted on this year's list... You'll see them!)

Take care and good luck!

Pacific Giant Vegetable Growers December 8, 2007!
Good evening, Growers!
I've been a member of the The Pacific Giant Vegetable Growers for a couple of years and it's been a wonderful experience. There are a number of very succesful veteran growers in the organization and they are very serious about having fun growing giant vegetables, particularly pumpkins.
Starting December 8, members of the general public will have the opportunity to buy, on a first- come, first-served basis, various lots of seeds from 1,000+ pounders from the 2007 growing season donated by members!
Their website is: http://www.pgvg.org/ You can also join as a member and have the ability of placing your order immediately. Membership is $35.00/year, and it's a bargain for having access to many great resources and enthusiasts!
Good luck!
Stuart
