Today I saved some seeds (100) out off the gut from my rotten 310(est) lbs Pumpkin. I never imagine before that a beautiful Pumpkin can stink like hell. Now, can I save thoose seeds and how should I handle them. Soaking in peroxyde before drying? Any advice?

I had one similar experience my first year. Someone suggested that I wash them up as clean as I could get them and make the final cleaning water 10%, by vollume Clorox.

My buddy had one last year. He made his final rinze with fungicide added. He used gloves to handle them and he marked his seed packets, with the fact, that those seed were coated with fungicide.

I did the Clorox rinze with great success. The just barely mature seed germinated very well the first year. The third year germination was down, to 50%. If your seeds are mature you should do much better.
