I was wondering if seeds taken from a premature pumpkin are good to keep? I started late this season and a few of the pumpkins only made it to 160 lbs and 100 lbs....I dryed the seeds anyways.....Will they still work next year?
Infact....The seeds i took out of the smallest pumpkin,turned out to be the bigest seeds!!!!
Just wondering......Chris

Chris, Do a germination test...Take 2,5 or 10 seeds how ever many you want and try to germinate them. If they grow they're good if not, well maybe not...Bob W
