I finally got around to doing a germination test on the cucumber seeds I saved. I’ve never saved cucumber seeds (pickling) before and was unsure of myself. I simply allowed a couple of them to get big and somewhat yellow, then removed the seeds and dried them. The seeds from both the cucumbers I used seemed very flat. I thought they should have more bulk to them. And I was partially right - the seeds of one cucumber just turned black & mouldy. The other one though was a success! 8 out of 10 seeds sprouted. Such a simple process! I am delighted, another step on my seed saving road.
