[Native Gardening] Re: Cantaloupe seeds....

 

I was thinking about that hybrid issue too, Moe. We'll trey it and see. Thanks to you and Green Thumb for the suggestion about drying them first. We'll try using them and see if they pop any fruit for us....

If good seeds end up in our compost pile, and the compost ends up in the garden, we often get lots of cantaloupe growing where we do not want them. I am the kind of person who thinks if they want to grow that badly I will let them and re-plan the rest of the garden around them. When this happens I always save the seeds and plant them in a better suited spot the next year.

I'm sure letting them dry out on some paper towels would be #1. But I have read that freezing seeds at times activates them, too. What should I do to get these to grow in our garden?
