Germinating Old Pink Banana Squash Seeds. 5.10.2021

 I thought these were all dead.  I soaked the last of the 2019 batch of Pink Banana Squash seeds for a few hours, then wrapped them in wet paper towel and placed the package into a plastic covered bowl.  This is four days later.

So they are germinating.  The rule of thumb is that viable seeds sink and dead ones float, but all of these floated.  Next test is transfer them to potting soil and see if they grow.

So far, none of the Pink Banana Squash seeds that I started out in potting soil this year have germinated.  Maybe they still have a chance.  All I want or need is two hills of vines.
