Re: Seed Dormancy i.r.o Northern/Southern Hemispheres

Hi All,
 
Hoping one of our group can help. My question is this: Can a pumpkin
seed be fooled somehow, that it has been thru an American/Canadian
winter? The reason I ask is that of all the seeds that have come to my
hand via members of this group, only the odd one germinates. They all
looked good at planting time. I should mention also that seeds from a
pumpkin grown by myself, germinated 100% under identical conditions. I
have a Brock 689 and one of Don Langevins AG's growing well. Is there a
dormancy factor, or am I doing something wrong? I must know, so that I
will know to keep my seeds for next summer or just keep sending them to
their doom.

Regards to all,
Geoff (trying to grow them in S.Africa)
