Saving squash seeds???

[bayouchica]

How would I go about it? It's an heirloom type can't remember what kind right now.
Is it better to let the fruit dry on the plant or remove the fruit when it matures???
Thanks,Miriam

As long as it's truly mature, we remove them.

thanks Tutter, it's mature alright,lol.That squash must weigh 2 or 3 lbs..it's big!!! I'll pick it this morning.

How cool that it's ready this early. You have a great season there!

It seems every year I put out plants earlier than before.Rule of thumb is put your plants out around Easter to avoid frost where I live. I really jumped the gun this year,I put all my plants out by the middle/ end of March.
That one squash plant is a monster, I'll have to post some pics of it. It's one of several I have in my leaf compst pile.
