How to Save Seeds
Squash and pumpkins belong to the same plant family and can easily cross-pollinate with other squash varieties of the same species. The four commonly grown squash species are Cucurbita pepo, Cucurbita maxima, Cucurbita moschata, and Cucurbita mixta.
To maintain pure seed stock, varieties within the same species should be separated by at least 500 feet. Always identify your squash species before saving seeds to help prevent unwanted cross-pollination.
Allow squash fruits to fully mature on the vine until fall harvest. Once harvested, let the squash cure in a dry location for approximately one week before opening.
Cut open the squash and scoop out the seeds and surrounding pulp. Place the seeds into water and gently wash away the flesh.
Spread cleaned seeds onto a screen, tray, or paper towel in a warm dry location with good air circulation. Turn seeds regularly to ensure even drying.
Allow seeds to dry completely for about one week before storing them in a cool dry place for future planting seasons.
