BLACKJACK Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I grew some big pumpkins this year, didn't get around to chopping one open and salvaging the seeds until last week - after the pumpkins had frozen solid. Will the seeds be ok and viable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Toys Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I would think they should be ok if they were mature. If you have a lot of seeds you can do a germination test. Put some seeds on a damp paper towel and cover them with another damp towel and put them in a warm place and look at them in 3 days or more and see if they germinated. How big were they? My pumpkins didn’t turn out that good. Too dry and bugs were eating the leaves. I was to busy doing other things and the garden got neglected. Some of the transplanted plants dried out when I was seeding soybeans so I had to replant a lot of my vine plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACKJACK Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 The germination test is a good idea. I'm pretty certain they'll be ok but I hate to waste time on seeds that are bad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
