Seed Saving Class – Squashes, Melons, and Gourds!

May 18, 2021 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Bill McDorman and Greg Peterson

New topics every month.
Get Your Seed Saving Questions Answered!

Squashes, melons and gourds, oh my. These varieties make up the curcurbit family and this is the perfect time for most regions to consider planting them.  There are three species in this family and each individual species will not cross-pollinate with another species in this family. For example, you can plant a butternut (moschata), pumpkin (pepo) and and cushaw melon (mixta) in the same area without worrying about cross-pollination although we love when things “cross’ and make new and delicious varieties. Greg Peterson and  Bill McDorman from Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance will talk about these favorites and share tips for planting, harvesting, breeding and eating these vining beauties.
