| Does anyone have germination tips for these seeds? I'm not sure if I should nick, soak, both or neither. About all I could find was the temps for best germination. |

| Never done them but for what it is worth, I would assume you'd germinate them just as you would any other member of the Cucurbitaceae family - pre-soak briefly, plant 1/2" deep on edge (not flat) in moist but not wet potting mix and maintain 70-80 degree soil temp. If you have enough seeds I'd pre-sprout a couple of them using the wet coffee filter/plastic bag method where you could more easily monitor germination. Dave |

| Thanks for the info but the seeds of these aren't like cucurbits. They are small, hard and round. That's why I was wondering about possibly nicking them. |
