Head to your squash patch and grab a fruit or two — because inside, you've got a pile of seed waiting for you! Another Seedy September Minisode about what seed you can harvest from your fields right now. Now, squash is a bit different from peppers or flowers. Most of the time, I wouldn't tell you to start your seed journey with squash.

In this episode, we'll get into … • The four main species of squash and how they cross (or don't) • Why Cucurbita pepo squash (like zucchini, pie pumpkins, and delicata) are tricky seed crops • Why Cucurbita moschata squash (like butternut) is the easiest starting point • How to harvest and clean squash seed right in your kitchen • The challenge of mystery squash Enjoy the episode!
