Re: pumpkins DIGEST V1 #28

I use the wet paper towel method as well.  File the edges, soak for a couple
hours and then put in a paper towel that has had nearly all the water squeezed
out of it.  Then into a ziploc baggie and onto the DVD player.  I checked the
temp and it holds 85-90 which seems to work perfect.  Pop in 36-48 hours.  I
then lay them flat in prewarmed soil about 3/4 inch deep and keep that soil 85
or so until they are up.  I put mine in one of those blue plastic storage bins
with a 60 watt light bulb running to keep it warm.  I firmly believe that the
constant 85 +/- degrees is the key to fast germination and quick soil
breakthrough.
