Title: Squash seeds up for grabs
Post by: Jeannine on March 07, 2007, 20:10:49
Hi I have just opened one of my  last seasons  winter squashes, it is Delicata type, Sugar Loaf,my personal favourite. I was going to chuck the seeds  as I don't need them but thought someone may fancy them, I have never taken seeds out this late before for keeping. There is quite a lot.I have about 8 more of these squash left in storage and a couple of Kuris. Anyone want them or some of the others. XX Jeannine

I'm somewhat obsessed with squash [and tomatoes] so I'd certainly like to try it.  Thanks Jeannine - I'll PM you my address.

I tend to cast my spare seeds randomly in quiet places in the nearby countryside and see if they which they often do.

Or use them as a green manure in september, chuck all my old seed onto the beds and wait till they grow a bit then dig them in as it gets too cold.

Good and bad news, I left the seeds overnight to dry off a wee bit and they are thin with no kernels, however I opened up the Kuri and they are super, I will get back to those folks who PM me Thank you Jeannine
