I tossed some seeds out in our side yard, which is our chickens winter run, and the seeds actually produced! I didn't water or fertilize and the squash beetles were brutal this year. I also got a few okra pods, pests were awful, I didn't eat them this year, I want to save their seeds. I'm saving all my squash seeds too, the reason for saving seeds is epigenetics. The plant picks up information from weather, pests, soil flora/fauna, soil nutrients and adapts accordingly, passing the data onto their seeds. All my seeds are from my Oregon garden and have no data from Oklahoma.
I'll post my squash soup recipe tommorrow with pictures and nutritional data.
