wondering what you all use as the latest and greatest for jack-o-lantern/novelty pumpkin seeds. i will have less than a $100 order. looking for a large carver, pie pumpkin as well as cinderella, fairytale, jarrahdale,etc. dont like to get the packets, so gurneys and places like that are out. i have rupp and seedway catalogs, they are good, but just want to see what everyone else is using.

We used Johnny's and had good luck...except the year they mixed the seeds up on the wolf and hulless variety

I use Rupp, Sieger ($250 dollar min order), Johnny's, Jung,and Harris Seed catalogs. Many of my varieties come from Harris and have PM resistance or tolerance. Plant 100 varieties so get a little from everyone since some varieties only are available from certain companies. For Jack-o-lanterns I like Gladiator and Super Herc from Harris for big but going to get some Cronus seed this year which is a fairly new 25-60 lb variety. knucklehead and goosebumps sell well also

Pay the extra money fro the hybrids...otherwise you are just leaving money in the field..

Farming- a bunch of catastrophies that result in a lifestyle

Mountain Valley Seed. Been buying flower and veggie seed for green house for years from them. Excellent germ rates, really good prices on bulk seed.
