Myself thinking, if I liked the genetics I would plant them next year. But, growers will be offering for the price of a bubble envelope the seeds from this year once the weigh offs are over and they have dried them. You can also if you see a seed in a diary ask the grower for a seed, run your cursor arrow over the envelope and his or her email address will appear on the bottom of the page. You simply send the grower a self addressed stamped bubble envelope, the grower gets it, puts in the seed and sends it to you. Is this your first year? have a soil test done, add amendments, read, ask questions, all kinds of info using the site search, finding a grower and visiting him or her works great, you can pick there brain. Have you done any research on seeds and the genetics? pumpkinfanatic.com has a lot of info on seeds. seed sun weather and luck

You will be able to get more seeds than you could ever grow from other growers but its fun to grow your own seeds as well so why not try it.
