[Community_garden] pumpkins

[GivenTrees at aol.com]

Yes, thanks for that reminder as I did save seeds from my largest, earliest  
ripening pumpkin, as up at 7000 feet that is my first priority.  To my  
knowledge, there were no other squash of any kind planted with a miles radius to  
cross with.  The seeds I planted were organic, or ,so they said.  Do  you think 
that they may still produce something different?  (I guess I'll  know more 
this spring when they get planted.)  That brings to mind  questions about the 
bean seeds I saved.  ?????  (I think I missed the  teleconference on seed 
saving.)  I only experiment with my own, not for  resale or any kind of distribution. 
 I am trying to absorb every thing I  can about this subject of seed saving 
and for that matter cold cellar  storage, so any input on either subject would 
be most welcome.  I am  quickly running out of cool nooks and crannies to 
stash them in, and yes,  I've learned the hard way, it also brings in the mice!  I 
have a very  old, (circa 1940's) root cellar that I am working on to restore, 
and trying to  do so without running electricity to. (fan for circulation, 
light bulb for  heat on the very cold nights) Any ideas there?
Thanks
