grower. Bill Foss is a record holding grower in Minnesota and he knows pumpkins. He's been growing giant pumpkins for 20 years and
how he's offering you the opportunity to get his select seeds from his pumpkins.
The number one secret in growing giant pumpkins is growing from
the right seeds. Let Bill help you.
Details
- What you get: 10 various seeds from Bill's Big Pumpkins.
- You'll get 10 seeds including at least 1 seed from each of the following pumpkins:
- 750 Foss 2009 - 945 Foss x 1385 Jutras. Great shaped pumpkin and the 750 has great potential to grow huge and orange pumpkins. And of course the pollinator had a sibling grow the new world record of 1725lbs. (FYI, the large numbers are the weight of the pumpkin followed by grower name and year grown. The second set of numbers are the seeds parents, the genetics of what was planted and what it was crossed with. It's all about the genetics, and these seeds are bred to be big!)
- 988 Foss 2009 - 1428 Riever x 1428 Riever. 1428 was the largest pumpkin grown in MN during 2008 and was the State Record holder. The 988 has great potential to grow a huge pumpkin.
- 1091 Foss 2009 - 1207 Young x 1385 Jutras. Fantastic cross without a doubt one of the best crosses in the giant pumpkin growing community. Big and Orange and 21 % heavy. That means it was a huge pumpkin in a small body. Just what we look for to grow the future bigger pumpkins. And of course the pollinator had a sibling grow the new world record of 1725lbs
- 1128 Foss 2009 - 1354 Young x open/1385 Jutras 09 MN State Fair winner . This pumpkin was harvested at day 58, a month early to go the fair. Another fantastic cross this should also be big and orange. And of course the pollinator had a sibling grow the new world record of 1725lbs. (Bill weighed this pumpkin at 1128 lbs, whereas the State Fair weighed it at 1189 lbs with pallet)
- Miscellaneous Bill's Big Pumpkin seeds are from giant pumpkins ranging in size from 200 to 500 lbs. These seeds were harvested from Bill's pumpkins, but weren't tracked genetically. The genetics in these seeds come from plants weighing 1000 lbs to over 1500 lbs. These seeds hold great potential, but the specifics (their exact family tree) are unknown.
- Just to be clear, you get 10 seeds. At least one of each listed above, totaling 5 marked seeds and 5 miscellaneous giant pumpkin seeds.
- These seeds are from very big pumpkins. They are Atlantic Giant pumpkin seeds, a genetic strain of pumpkins and 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 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.
