I just harvested a 607 pound pumpkin a week ago and have removed and dried the seeds. The pumpkin was on a 880.8 Greer ('02) and I crossed it with a Howard Dill cross number 16 from ('02), its crosses are 922.5 Emmons and the Bobier 723

mail me a bubble pack with returnable postage if interested. You can send a seed(s) also of yours too if you want

Adam, usually it takes 3 weeks to dry seed properly so you may want to leave them to dry a bit longer or you may run the risk of mildew and mold later on due to moisture remaining in the seed and lose them all. Don't want to see that happen to ya. Congratulations on a nice fruit.

Usually you're right. Last year it took about 3 weeks but this year I tried something new and they dried much faster. I placed all the seeds on some tin foil ad then placed them on top of a gro light which was always very warm. But not hot. Also there was a small fan on them constantly. I was surprised in only 3 days the filmy skin began to come off, within a day all it was all off. the seeds now look completly dry, I even broke one or two open to see.

another way is to get a food dehydrator...in 3 days max. you're done with 4 or 5 crosses at once---
worth all 40 bucks!
