Details

  • 10 various seeds from Bill's Big Pumpkins. Bill's Big Pumpkin seeds are from giant pumpkins ranging in size from approximatley 300 lbs to just under 1100 lbs. These seeds were harvested from Bill's pumpkins.  The genetics in these seeds hold great potential, coming from plants weighing 800 lbs to over 1500 lbs, included previous world record holders. The seeds you will get include (at least one of each of the following, #'s are weights, parent genetics listed if known and show the stong genetics of giant pumpkins)
    • 1058 Foss - 658 Foss (1698 Hunt x 1725 Harp) x 1544 Revier
      • Very Large, and Very Orange
    • 301 Foss/Solmonson – 1059 Vincent/Mcgill xOpen
      • Winner of the Prettiest Pumpkin Award (Howard Dill Award) at the Giant Pumpkin Weight-Off in Delano MN, 2011.
    • 329 Foss - Vincent/Mcgill xOpen
      • Same genetics as the 301
    • Un-weighed Variety
      • The other seeds come from pumpkins between 300 and 600 lbs but we didn't keep track of them. The majority come from a 1544 Revier x Open cross and the rest are from 1059 Vincent/Mcgill xOpen . All these pumpkins were very orange. These pumpkins were perfect doorstep jack-o-lanterns for Halloween, though their genetics are packed with potential.
  • Bill has grown hundreds of giant pumpkins, each weighing in at over 500 lbs. These seeds are from his giant pumpkins. They are Atlantic Giant pumpkin seeds, a genetic strain of pumpkin seeds, the only seeds that can grow pumpkins over 500 lbs. Don't mess with Big Mac when you can grow Bill's Big Pumpkins.
  • How do I do it? Don't worry, also included are printed copies of Bill's basic and instructions (detailed instructions available online also) to help you plant and care for your own big pumpkin, written by Bill Foss himself. Great for the first timer or the experienced grower.
  • Get seeds from an established, award winning grower, not from a store or catalogue. These are seeds Bill considers "defiantly worth growing". Put a face and name to the seeds you order!
  • See examples of the pumpkins the seeds came from in previous years.
  • Got questions, we've got answers. Ask us directly, don't be shy. Bill loves to talk pumpkin so why not ask. He's very proud to have people growing his pumpkin seeds, so he'd love to hear from you even if you don't have questions.
