Can you plant "fresh" seeds?

Winter squash seed starts faster if it's fresh providing the fruit is well matured before it's picked. If you've ever tossed one in a compost pile you probably got seedlings. If they were stored over the winter you should be good to go.

This is what I was thinking....I get a lot of seedlings in my compost pile, so it should work!

Just what I was hoping to hear!!! I'll put off cutting this baby open a couple more weeks-- plant some fresh, and save the rest
