I have given some Windsor black open pollinated seeds to my daughter emmalee to sell on ebay.au.I am not fussed about selling pumpkin seeds generally but it seems everyone is looking for the Windsor Black and my girl needs some money.I have grown them for a few years and they are astonishingly prolific. Mine had a pumpkin about every metre on the long vines.Most likely mine are not pure bred but next year I should have better stock.I have planted a few hundred this season well away from any other pumpkins.

I just moved into a house and the weeds had over grown after clearing out the garden I found a healthy butter nut pumkin vine however I accidently ripped up the roots when clearing it out I have reburried the roots but the vine is dieing how can save it?

If the roots were torn then it's probably a lost cause. You could try copious watering to try and save it, but it's late in the season now for pumpkins, anyway.

Store the pumpkins for a few months in the shade and they should be ok to use for making chutney, jam, scones,bread etc.Mine seem to last for about 8 months after being picked.Any that get some withering,make some pumpkin soup.yum - yum!
