Wanted: pumpkin seeds

Hi all

My mom would love to plant some pie and/or halloween pumpkins. We need drought hardy, long-keeping pumpkins. We have a good drought-hardy one in SA but it's the only one we can get;

Can anyone share some seed?

Very interesting pumpkins you have pictured there. Let's see what we can do.

They are White Boer pumpkins. Tough things. But very meaty and long shelf life..

I thought you (and anyone else reading) would enjoy this though;

Richard I am sure I mentioned this but in case I didn't they must have taken some time to harvest the seeds but I couldn't buy them for a bit. I have, however, since found them and sent them. If you don't get them I will get some more. I can even now get them from my mom's pumpkins as my sister went down to visit and could bring them back.

I still have not sorted out the post box issue and I am sure yours are in there. I will though and I will let you know.
