My gourds dried in the garage over the winter. I'm sure they froze for a while. Would the seeds grow if planted.

Depends on how long and how hard they froze. If enough to kill the seed embryos then no they won't. Try a wet paper towel germination test with a few of them and see what results you get. That way you will know.

You might also check with the folks over on the Gourds forum here for their experience.
