Here's a photo of some pumpkin seeds I am saving from a pumpkin I bought from the farmers market. I've removed the bulk of the pumpkin flesh, discarded any seeds that aren't plump or feeling full of potential! They are now covered with more absorbing paper and will sit on a sunny window sill for about a week. Any that start to mould will be thrown out. After that I'll bag them up, date and name the (golden nuggets I believe) and store them somewhere dry and dark.
Seeds sure are going up in price - and I love pumpkin but only have space for 1 or 2 plants so I am always throwing seeds out that become years old before they are used.
