This morning I filed, soaked and started my pumpkin seeds. The seeds I'm starting:
282 Scherber (1725 Harp x self) - this is a seed from the plant that grew the 2,009 pound world record that was "cloned."
1985 Miller (2009 Wallace x 1725 Harp) - Grew a lot of massive pumpkins last year
1415 Scherber - this is a 282 seed that was selfed last year. Pumpkin was in Colorado state record territory when it went down three weeks before the weigh-off.
Need seeds to grow a giant pumpkin yourself? It is a great activity to do with your kids or to just have the biggest jack-o-lantern in the neighborhood. Get your seeds here.
The following is a great article on seed germination techniques: Seed_Soak_Experiment
