Really struggling to get seeds to germinate for grafting stock. Can anyone point me to a "fool-proof" YouTube video showing how to prepare the seed? I tried the one with pliers and ended up with a pile of broken seeds!

Look at anything in and around these suggestions - I wish I had actual recent experience, but i can't imagine it's any different than AG sprouting
other than it takes a little longer -
i say TOEnail clippers for any surgeries---eg

I like to hear ANY woman talk if she's not yelling at me or angry, lol---
very informative for most likely Bushel Gourds as well.
I'll take her advice once I am soon in your shoes, my friend---eric g

90-95 degrees, clipped ears, slightly damp soil, overhead light, typically take 5-7 days

Yep. Agree with Engels. Lots of 90+F heat needed to sprout these babies. They need more heat than AG's.

I've misplaced my long gourd seeds. I think I may have accidently donated them alone with a batch of other seeds I sent to the CT Club. I was hoping to start them this week. In case I can't locate them, does anyone know of some great seeds I can buy to replace them? 2 or three seeds maybe.
