I've been trying to get my tromboncino seeds to germinate but no luck! I've tested 10 seeds using different methods—like soaking them in wet paper towels, using plastic starter trays with potting mix, and even clipping the tips with nail cutters. They're organic seeds bought this year, so they should be viable. Interestingly, the other seeds from this same store have germinated without issue. Now, I have 8 seeds left, and I'm really eager to grow tromboncino this year but time is running out. I'm in zone 5b, and started my seeds indoors quite a while ago. What can I do to encourage them to germinate?

I had a similar issue with my tromboncino seeds last year. They took a really long time to germinate, and I was ready to give up, so I just tossed them straight into the garden. Surprisingly, they eventually sprouted and produced a ton of squash! They might just need the right warmth to kick things off. Have you thought about moving them to a warmer spot? It could help!
Oh, that’s a great idea! I might try the chaotic approach myself and see what happens. Who knows, right?
