Seed Depth?


Greetings,

I got my pumpkin seeds are in the ground this weekend. I decided to direct
start four out of six of them. The other two I started in outdoor pots. I
soaked the seed for 24 hours prior to planting.  However, I think I might
have made a huge mistake right off the bat, so I was hoping to get the
list's opinion on the following topics.

Was 24 hours to long to soak the seeds prior to planting? (Buy the time I
put the seed in the ground the small about of water they were soaking in was
milky orange/yellow.)

And here is where I think I really goofed. I planted the seeds two to three
inches deep. I now read here on the list that one inch was the appropriate
depth.  Is there any chance they will grow?

Best Regards,
Ray
