What is the best way to dry seeds from squashes and other veggies ?
Posted on Jan 30, 2010 under Best Seeds | 2 CommentsCan you tell me how the best way is to dry seeds from some of my own veggies? I harvested Banana squash, acorn squash, zuchini. Please help. I do not think I am doing right right now. Thanks.
I clean off the plant residue and lay mine out in a single layer and let air dry ,these are for planting next year,then store them in paper envelopes not plastic to prevent mold from setting in and store them in the refrigerator in the butter compartment.For eating i put them on a baking sheet and roast them with margarine and salt in a 200 degrees oven till dry.Hope this helps

wash them then place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and put them in a sunny location. stir them around every once in a while and if not completely dry in one day, be sure to bring them in for the nite so the dew won’t get them wet again. some hybrids will not grow from the seeds you collect from the fruits tho.
