First, you need to start with an open pollinated, heirloom plant/seed. Hybrids are not going to work well if they work at all.
I've been saving some of the easy seeds for a while, sun flowers and okra are pretty simple. I let them dry on the plant a while. Then bring them in to finish.
Decided to seed some of our zucchini since it did so well this year. Been letting a couple go for a few weeks. Pulled all the plants today and seeded the biggest one. You need to go a couple weeks past edible and the skin should be firm.
First split in half.
Used a serving spoon to scoop out the middle.
Separate the larger un damaged seeds from the rest of the center.
Use a colander to wash the seeds. Continue pulling any big chunks out. You also want to work off any of the wet stuff stuck to the seeds. It can inhibit germination.
Put cleaned seeds on wax or butcher paper to dry for a week or two.
