Re: gourd seeds

<I am trying to see if some gourd seeds I have received (from several

loosely covered with plastic wrap so it would not dry out fast.  They are
sitting on my counter in the kitchen (about 70 degrees F) and None have
germinated in 2 weeks.  Anyone have any hints.  I even tried soaking some of
them in water for a couple days first.  Any one have any ideas?>


The best way to tell if seeds are viable is to lay them in a moist paper
towel inside a plastic bad until you see  the seeds start to
sprout...anywhere from a few days to two weeks. Gourds should sprout in
7-10 days in my experience. Maybe the seeds you have are no longer good.
