Any hints on best way to keep pumkin, squash, corgette seeds for next year?
Time to harvest, prepare etc?


1. Let them fully mature on the vine.

2. Open the fruit and remove the seeds.

3. For the winter squashes/pumpkin clean and dry the seeds. The summer squash
will usually dry in the shell.

4. When completely dry, store in an airtight container ( I use presciption
medicine cans since I have a surplus of the big ones)

5. Put them in dark dry place which doesn't experience extremes of temperature.

6. Seeds are usually viable for several years.
