I've had a request to write more text. I started my other 741 Brunst seed (supposed to be an really orange one) the other day and it didn't sprout either. 741 is 0-2 on germination. I may just plant a jumbo pink banana in the place I was going to plant the 741 in the front yard.
I didn't say on here yet, but I'm going to plant the two big ones at a generous neighbors house a over closer to the river. He's set me up with to 750 sq ft plots which he's even tilled for me. I put down my starter fertilizer last weekend. Urea (for N), mono-ammonium phosphate (for P and N), Potassium Sulfate (for K and S), some 10-20-20 (for N,P,K,S in other forms), plus Iron sulfate, copper sulfate, zinc sulfate, borax (for Boron), Manganese sulfate (for Mn) and sea salt (for Na and Cl, the chemical analysis of pumpkin leaves that I've seen had a fair amount of Na, so I thought it couldn't hurt to add a little just in case). I also added some Mycogrow mycorrhizae and beneficial microbes and some sugar to get the microbes going.
