We at P & P Seed Co are pleased to announce to our US customers, our agreement with Harris Seeds, Garden trends, Inc. to offer what we consider the best pumpkin varieties for the home/competitive gardener. Some of these varieties are only offered to commercial growers by Harris; so we would like you to try them (as we have) as our customers under this special agreement. The powdery mildew tolerance and yield offered by most of these varieties is awesome!
