I have read that you must trellis these to have good fruit set. Have you found this to be true?

We haven't found this to be true - we don't trellis them.

Do you have idea when are you planning to sell Seminole Pumpkin Seeds ?

We should have seeds for sale in early or mid December - we start shipping out early January. Harvest and seed extraction is pretty late on these pumpkins..

I see you are out of stock with your Seminole Pumpkin seeds. Will you be getting any more seeds this summer or are you out of this variety for the year? Thanks

Unfortunately we are out for the year. We are growing another crop this summer so should have it available next winter.. In the meantime you might try South Anna, which is a cross between Seminole Pumpkin and Waltham Butternut, selected for Downy Mildew resistance.

Answer this question
I grew Seminole pumpkin first time in 2018 with seeds bought from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. The plants were healthy and had very good resistance to vine borers and one vine even survived the first frost. Everything about Seminole was as described except for their keeping quality. Instead of keeping at room temp for up to a year, Seminole was the first to rot (3 weeks after harvest) among the winter squash I grew (Waltham Butternut, Zucchino Rampicante Squash, and Tetsukabuto Hybrid Winter Squash). I didn't get a chance to taste Seminole. 2018 is indeed one of the wettest years. My Seminole plants were the healthiest among all. I was wondering what went wrong. Thank you.

I don't know what could be causing this, besides the really wet conditions potentially affecting the fruits. Did you see any spots of rot on the fruits at harvest time? Or else maybe frost damage, but I assume that would have impacted the other fruit types as well.

Answer this question
How did the pumpkin perform re bacterial wilt resistance?
Answers 1
-
Yes thanks for the question. In 2016 our Seminole breeding trial (and production crop) had a good bit of bacterial wilt, while no other C. moschata squashes had it. Our best selections from the breeding trial had no wilt, but the benefit of that selection won't pay off till next year's seed crop. The seed we have for sale here is from plants with less BW than the average, but not necessarily enough to make a significant difference.
