Halloween seed saving

With Halloween coming up I thought it would be a good time to remind everyone about saving seeds. If you are wondering what seeds and Halloween have to do with each other then read on. This time of year everyone likes to carve jack-o-lanterns, and with that comes cleaning out the pumpkin. There's no need to waste those seeds. Lay them out on a paper towel and let them dry. Next year you can plant them and grow your own pumpkins. There are enough seeds in a small pumpkin to plant a small pumpkin field and grow a whole army of pumpkins for carving or baking pumpkin pies. The carving is fun for kids and adults alike and the kids will love playing in the dirt, planting the seeds and watching them grow.
