Saving squash seeds? Cross pollination?
Hey. I just had an acorn squash and a saved the seeds, dried them, and now they are sitting in the fridge in envelopes till next planting season. I heard this is on way to do this. Anyway, if I plant these seeds next year will they cross pollinate with store bought seeds like butternut squash, zucchini, or yellow squash? I’ve heard they are okay the first year (like store bought.) But will the SAVED seeds cross with the BOUGHT seeds?? If they would, how far away should I plant them to ensure they wont?? THANKS!
Wow. You are going the whole 10 yards. I just put a bunch of clean seeds in some newspaper and put it in a shoebox in the basement.(or unheated garage) Newspaper takes away any moisture in the air.
Now will they grow again? Botany is getting to the point of developing “genetically modified” plants. What does that mean? It means the seeds in the fruit is no good(as it normally would be) and you would have to buy seeds from suppliers every year. They now have control on “food supply”.
Cross pollinate with its cousins? Sure.
How far should you plant them apart so they don’t cross pollinate….a million miles. Why so far? because bees do the pollinating and they can fly.

Gardening With Heirloom Seeds $15.75 Heirloom seeds are more than the promise of next summer’s crookneck squash or jewel-colored zinnias. They’re living antiques handed down from one generation to the next, a rich inheritance of flavor and beauty from long ago and, often, far away. They are sometimes better adapted to pests and harsh conditions than many modern varieties and often simply smell or taste better. Gardening with Heirloom Seeds serves as a resource for gardeners, cooks, and plant lovers of all levels of expertise who want to know more about finding, sharing, and propagating the seeds of heirloom flowers, fruits, and vegetables. In these beautifully illustrated pages, Lynn Coulter describes fifty old-fashioned species that have their roots in the past, from the Frenchman’s Darling, a flowering herb whose seeds were pocketed by Napoleon Bonaparte when he invaded Egypt in 1798, to Snow White beets, an old Dutch favorite that will not stain the cook’s fingers red. Most of the plants included here will grow all across the United States; a few are best suited for warmer climates. The text is sprinkled with practical advice from heirloom gardeners and lists sources for finding the seeds of many old varieties. Because it also provides room for notes, Gardening with Heirloom Seeds can be used year after year and can become an heirloom in its own right–a personal journal to pass along to the next generation of gardeners. |
