Don't Roast All the Seeds

Keep some of them for next year. I took mine and dried them on a paper towel. Then, I wrapped them up and...



...labeled them. And put them in the frig until spring and then...


...another perfect pumpkin will come next year:-)

  1. As I watched my husband dump all our seeds into the garbage, I totally envied those who could save them and plant them in the spring. I want a veggie garden in the worst way. Oh well, maybe we will find that "perfect house" yet.

  10. Thanks for the reminder. I would have roasted them all. How long does it take to dry them?
