As a friendly reminder for growers planning on sending / trading seeds with other giant pumpkin growers please do the simple drop test after your seeds are finished drying . Just drop each seed onto a table or countertop and listen to the sound when it hits , easy to tell a good seed with a bad or questionable one .

Always good to receive good seeds after sending good seeds .

do you just throw away the hollow ones. There's also some that sound not as hard and the most solid ones

first timers id suggest breaking open a few of the (half full) sound seeds. once dry you can snap them in half with fingers
