I am new to trying to grow giant pumpkins - I have an 88# pumpkin (lol) that I'll be carving soon - how do I preserve the seeds for next year? (wash and dehydrate, store in container in cool area?) - thanks

88 LBS probably isn't a Dill's Atlantic Giant. Stick around as the free seeds that'll be posted here next few weeks will be worth waiting for.

Yes, rinse in 5% bleach/water, pick off pulp, spread out so the seeds don't touch each other, wait 10-14 days, store in freezer.

PS, KEEP MICE AWAY.
