A few of my Long gourds germinated for me today. I lightly sanded the edges and used a nailclipper to just nip the top of the seeds to open them up alittle to allow water in during their 12 hour soaking in warm water with a small amount of 3% Hydrogen peroxide. I used a small coffee thermos to keep the water warm for their 12 hour soak. I then placed them into damp paper towel into a plastic bag and into the germinater at 88 degrees within 36 hours 2 of the 4 seeds had a 1/4" tap root. The 2 that sprouted are the 111 7/8" Lovelace '08 and the 106.50" Lovelace '07.
