I have never tried them.

I
also tried Baby Bear pumpkins. There were four seeds in the packet.
So far none of them have come up.

Where are you? What is the temperature like at the moment? It may
be too cold for them to germinate. Pumpkins are a warm season crop,
you would normally not put them in the ground until after the last
frost and the ground has warmed up.

I think I'll stick to buying Yates
- at least you get enough seeds to have another try.
Lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, beetroot, beans, snowpeas all doing
well. Cheers,
Dan.

Try Diggers Club and Eden Seeds for internet mail order. You will get a
much wider range than Yates.

Or www.greenharvest.com.au

Most of these are heirloom seeds too.

would be worth saving your own seed, picking out the ones that are more
bug resistant.
