Can anyone tell me how I should dry my pumpkins seeds so I can use them
next year. Any help would be great thanks Brad, Peachland B.C. CANADA.

I have been using the following method for 18 years with very good success.
I dry them by placing them on newspaper in planting trays and letting them
dry for 4 to 5 weeks. This time is based on your house being heated by
forced hot air which will dry seeds faster than most other forms of heat.
After drying I put them in a paper bag. If they are to be stored longer than
one tear I freeze them in Zip Lock bags.
