 Hi George,
 
 I don't know what giant pumpkin seeds look like. I have not opened mine yet.
 I just wrapped them up in baggies when I received them, put them in a
 container and set the container in the garage. So, my question to you:
 
 Do you need to soak the seeds in water prior to planting?
 
 For my larger gourd seeds, soaking is recommended since the seeds are so
 hard. Are the pumpkin seeds the same as gourd seeds, larger and harder?

If they are frozen I do not but have soaked seeds to test their viability
before.
