After reading all the discussions on seed bubbling I decided to give it try on some of my seeds that had less than zero germination. (do you believe thats possible) And it worked pretty well. I used a giant miracle jar and bubbled for about 8 hours like you said. Now the seeds are in paper towel at nice moist 85%. The first ones were just poking through this morning. My thanks to all the bubblers that gave suggestions. Just to tell you all what I plan on doing. I'm in Wisconsin and its still quite cool out doors. I wouldn't tranplant pumpkins outdoors till about the 15th of May. I managed to find an old hoophouse which I am covering with plastic. It also has a LP furnace in it if we get some cold nights. I should be planting here in a week or so. Wish me luck. Rick
