04 Apr 14, margaret (Australia - temperate climate): Ive recently grown some huge cuc's first time lucky! but was wondering if I could dry some of the seeds in them to replant? does it work like this, big cuc's have more big cuc's, or should I just get seedlings again from the shop? and how to dry the seeds?
