Giant Pumpkin Seed Germination
I filed the edges of the seeds lightly with a nail file. This allows moisture into the seed easier and makes it easier for the leaves to emerge from the shell without damage. I then soaked the seeds in warm water for an hour or two and sowed them 1"-2" deep into six inch peat pots filled with a seed starter mix. I sowed one seed on it's side, and the other with the pointed end down and watered the starter mix thoroughly. I provided the seeds with warmth by setting next to my computer to improve germination rates and speed the process.
