Hi everyone,

I carve pumpkins/squash for a multitude of clients...you can see some of my work at www.squashcarver.com. (If you know of anyone needing my services, please feel free to give them my address.) Since I did not grow this year, I am in need of pumpkins and squash for several events this fall.

I am in central Ohio, so the most likely candidates are in Ohio and adjoining states. I quote everyone the same price...$.50 per pound, which I pass directly to the grower. The only negotiation that comes into play is transportation.

If you have anything in the 100#-500# category for sale, please drop me an e-mail at [email protected] and let me know. That way I will have an inventory of growers who I can choose from based on the customer's requirements. I do not want to tie up anyone's fruit from other potential sales, so I will let you know on an individual basis when I have sold your fruit for carving.

Anyone wanting their seeds back, I will enter into a contract with you and the client to retrieve your seeds once they are done displaying the fruit. Some clients are single day events, where we can take the seeds out immediately. Others want month long displays, necessitating leaving the fruit in tact until the end of the display period. Trust me, I know how important your seeds can be. If you have open pollinations or do not want your seeds, we do not have to mess with this step.

Best of luck to all growing this year...I'll be back next year vying for biggest squash! Until then, I will be making your children into works of art!
