My mum had given me the seedling and after plenty of harvest i let one zucchini mature into a huge thing and then after picking it kept it for 2-3 months before harvesting the seeds (as recommended in a book i was checking at the time, which also included methods of fertilising the flower so that it doesn't get contaminated with pollen from other varieties). I gained LOTS of seeds from that HUGE zucchini but to illustrate your point about hybrids the offspring of this productive yellow zucchini are either yellow or green, so i have a bunch of suprise seeds. I didn't know what sort seedling my mum had given me to start with.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16141857407504163552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155429946688188786.post-64502318526835842942010-04-16T03:07:53.037+10:002010-04-16T03:07:53.037+10:00I found a video about keeping seeds a while ago an...I found a video about keeping seeds a while ago and posted it today among the many other ones I found. I don't know if it would work, but it's another method to try! :) Thanks for your encouragement on my new garden, by the way. I'd love to be out there more this year but have a feeling I shouldn't worry too much since I have no idea what God will be bringing my way this summer (when it comes to energy and time that is).Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15596449764469139465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155429946688188786.post-69573628848736451862010-04-15T19:47:13.567+10:002010-04-15T19:47:13.567+10:00Great!
