Saving Pumpkin Seeds Questions

AlittleSalt · October 27, 2014

This year, we bought a huge pumpkin to make a Jack O Lantern for our young grandchildren. I'm thinking it is a Connecticut Field Pumpkin that just grew really large. It is 17" across and 14" tall. The seeds are really large 0.5" wide and 1" long. Guessing, I would say it weighs at least 40 pounds.

What I'm wondering about is saving the seeds, and would these large seeds grow large pumpkins next year?

Do you save pumpkin seeds in the same way as you save pepper seeds?
