RE: Starting a seed cache

Thanks for the reply.....  The seeds came from a pumpkin about 7 - 8 feet in circumference, so I hope they give me a good start.....

	The important thing is to make sure it is really dry. This should take 
	several weeks,
	depending on your local humidity. By the same token, I wouldn't seal them up 
	in
	an air tight container... seeds are always sold in envelopes. Of course, 
	some people
	freeze them.
