They arrived in good condition, and it was easy to germinate! They are making bigger plants than I thought, I can’t wait to see the “fruits”!
Thank you!

Wonderful seeds. Sprouted almost immediately! My recommendations for sprouting gourd seeds:
1. Soak the seeds in water overnight (like not damp, full cup of water). It’s normal for them to float.
2. Drain the water and begin trimming the seeds. Cut just a little bit of the edge off—just enough for you to barely see the white inner flesh of the seed. This helps the seed sprout more easily.
3. Find a sealable container, flat and not too tall, and cover the bottom with a wet paper towel. Put the seeds on the paper towel with an inch-and-a-half or so of space between each seed.
4. Cover them with another paper towel, and then soak that paper towel. It shouldn’t be sopping, but it should be more than just damp.
5. Put them in indirect sunlight, somewhere warm but not hot (mine were on my PC). they should sprout in a few days!
