Judy, If you plant the seeds flat the roots will head down due to gravity.
The stem will elongate up in a curve as it grows. When it straightens out
the seed is pulled thru the soil and this helps the plant pull the seed
coat off. In the book they said to put the pointed end down, this will
work but it takes alittle longer. Pumpkins pull the seed out of the
ground, other plants push their way up. Roger
