I appear to have an abundance of these today...someone told me that Pumpkin seeds are good for you, is this true?

and if so...what are their benefits?
 
cheers cocker :D

was thinking of planting a couple too, you ever tried growing your own pipples?
 
I have but failed miserably.............keep a few for next year and give it a go, i am going to have another try, obviously don`t dry `em out first though.....lol
 
they are gonna be dry if i keep a few back for next year arent they...how long do they take to grow anyway?
 
I got told that you need to let them dry out on a window sill (indoors), then put in an envelope and in the fridge for 6 - 8 weeks. Take out and plant in little pots and leave inside until early spring. Then re-plant into a growing bag and put outside. Was also advised to put straw around the bag to try and stop the slugs as they seem to love them :rolleyes:
 
cheers for that Em, i've dried some seeds in the oven and eaten them already, they taste nice (i even realised i had to shell them before i ate them)


i've also put a few in a tub to leave till next year, i assume its one seed per pumpkin
 
Hmm, if they are the green ones, available as snacks from Asda etc then they make you fart something rotten! :D
