I was just wondering if the seeds took longer to sprout than other squash! I planted Green Tint and White scallop along with Yellow Crookneck and the scallops haven't sprouted, it's been almost 3 weeks... any idea?

They shouldn't in my experience Dude. Mine usually sprout in-ground in 3-5 days. That would be the Bennings Green Tint. I haven't tried to grow White scallop. If you want to try some different Green Tint seed, PM me whichever is the current address for receiving mail and I'll get some out Monday. This is seed that I saved last year and sowed in my garden this spring and has sprouted on time. I did not bag the blossoms on the squashes for most of my varieties last year, so there could potentially be a surprise, but it was the only scallop type I grew last year. Up to you and my feelings won't be hurt if you decline either. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/3247375/images/AgR8NN4iidU1wy_OcyQm.png)

Your welcome. Good luck!
Oh, btw, keep an eye out for SVBs. I saw several today and lots of eggs on squash plants already.

Update on the Bennings Green Tint seed that I sent you DLD: Plants are growing fine ![](http://idigmygarden.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=811&pictureid=5861) Throwing fruit like they should ![](http://idigmygarden.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=811&pictureid=5863) Ruh-roh, looks like there's some Lebanese Bush Marrow genes in the wood pile. 1 out of about 15 plants looks like it is throwing an incorrect fruit. ![](http://idigmygarden.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=811&pictureid=5862) I didn't expect that, but should have.
