Pumpkins with edible seeds.

My pumpkin seeds are from Tesco or a wholefood shop so they're not proper Aldi ones, they'll probably fail, but I'll give it a go.

They're not just Aldi seeds but they're use by Dec 2021!!

Guaranteed success.

I've put some to chit. I'm not overly optimistic.

They're beginning to smell so I don't think much chitting is going on.

Do they smell like "chit"?

 as they say sharp as a tack.

I feel an experiment coming on - feel free to join me!
I want to see if shop bought edible pumpkin seeds are viable, so I'm going to put some on damp kitchen paper and see if they sprout. If they do, it would save a lot of expense, tracking down the few commercial seeds that are on sale.

Did you sow pumpkin seeds in the end? Did they turn to 'chit' too?

Yes, they turned to "chit". However, I have 2 seedling Baby Bear pumpkins which I'm hoping will do something before winter (same as my courgettes1).
