| Processing and drying only help the seed establish their germination resistance. Many seeds that will require scarification or stratification later will grow readily if planted fresh. Al |

| Last summer I bought one Cantaloupe. It was the most sweet and tasty contaloupe I have ever tased. It smelled good too. I saved the seeds and was wondering if it will germinate. A month ago I planted some of the seeds in pots in my little green house. It germinated and the plants are very healthy and looking good. Still cold to take them outside. Abe |

| foolishpleasure, A word of caution... if those seeds were saved from a hybrid cantaloupe, it may grow a completely different cantaloupe than the one that you ate. I wish you luck with it, but unless the cantaloupe was an heirloom, I'm not sure that you will enjoy what you grow as much as the one you bought. |
