I purchased some Choctaw Sweet Potato winter squash seeds from 1999. I started them and some Hopi Pale Grey seeds indoors because I wasn't expecting germination. They both had a high germination rate. They transplanted well and I had to retransplant several plants because they all did so well.

Starting them indoors shouldn't be a problem.
