These are a great type of vegetable seed for anyone interested in gardening, especially when you like to eat things that you grow yourself. I love to garden and plan on buying more of these seed for sure. Tips and tricks for growing them right; Start by: Soak a paper towel in water and ring it out then flatten it out put your seeds in it use a spray bottle to keep it wet a few times a day until they start to sprout. Next: Put them in putting soil in a pot or container of your choice and keep them in a sunny window for about two weeks or until they are 5 inches in growth aka length, a stick or skewer or two can help to keep them upright but remember they are vines so they rap themselves around anything they can so be gentle when you take the skewer away to trance plant them into the ground in your garden, or you can leave the skewer in and add something bigger for them to keep growing up on like placing them by a trellis or something else that can hold a bit of weight since the squash can be a little heavier then other garden vegetables.
