I was reading "National Geographic" the other day in the Dentist office. This tribe from Central America are growing giant purple pumpkins, 500+LBS. Anyone seen or heard of this purple beauty?

Go back to the dentist office and rip off the article heading and the publishers month and address. The rest can be found out by a letter to the editor, in most cases like this.

I like NG's website. A search revealed nothing of a purple pumpkin though. Here's a link. Maybe you can remember some other "hot button" search words to tigger their search engine.

I will research this further. As I remember, the NG was dated.

Man I searched the bejabbers out of the N.G site and no luck. A 500# purple cucerbite would be fantastic in my squash experiments! I will give up two plump 834 seeds for a direct line to a "bushman" with one of those Purple Pumpkins.

I know Gad's. I searched Google when I tired of NG. Besides some Pirate Radio guy named "Purple Pumpkin", I came up empty except for this:

Not quite 500 lbs though.

If you can't find a purple pumpkin you should try crossing it with one of those white "Lumina" pumpkins. That should be interesting.
