pumpkin seed preparation


Question
I would like to know how to prepare and store pumpkin seeds that I harvested from a pumpkin this fall so I can plant them in the spring.  Thank You..Fred

Answer
Hi Fred,
Thanx for your question.  After you remove the seeds from the pumpkin, clean off all of the pulp and membranes and then wash the seeds gently in tap water.  Place the seeds on a cookie sheet and allow them to dry for a couple of weeks.  After that, place the seeds in a glass jar and put a lid on it.  Keep the seeds in a cool, dark, dry place until you are ready to plant them next year.  I hope this helps.
Tom
