Don,
You need to add this to your next book as another germination technique.
No need to presoak or buy expensive incubating equipment. Just order
some 90 degree weather after the first frost. Found these when I carved
one of my AG's. Someone had once told me to keep the pumpkin in a cool,
dry place after you pick them, but they never explained why. Good news
is that there was at least a 50% germination rate. Bad news is that my
new seed drying racks that I built this week will stand idle for a year.
Please indulge me everyone and take a look at my drying racks so they
don't get lonely. Here's the pics:
