I put my seeds from my bought pumpkin into a glass of warm water overnight then planted them next day into my vege patch. They were everywhere !

I put the kitchen vegie scraps in a blender (with water) and strain it through shade cloth then add the vegie scraps to my worm farm. The pumpkin seeds aren't smashed up and the other week I had about 50 seeds germinate.
