How to Save Seeds

Squash varieties readily cross-pollinate with other squash from the same species. Golden Summer Crookneck Squash belongs to the species Cucurbita pepo, so isolation by approximately 500 feet is recommended from other pepo varieties for maintaining seed purity.

Allow fruits to fully mature on the vine until late in the season before harvesting for seed saving.

After harvest, allow squash to cure for approximately one week before cutting open and scooping out the seeds and pulp.

Wash seeds thoroughly, spread them out on screens or paper for drying, and turn regularly to ensure complete drying before storing in a cool dry location for future planting.
