I've saved some seeds from an outsized courgette. They've dried off and I've put them in an envelope. Will they be any good to use next year or is it best to start afresh? Thanks.

Definately worth a go.. Courgettes germinate so quickly that you'll soon know if theyve failed and can get some others going

Watch out they not F1 tho , there seems to be lots of courgette seeds that are i find.

Beware also cross polination.

They cross very easily with any nearby pumpkins, squash, marrows....... in fact just about anything that wants to spread it about.

Honestly I wouldn't bother as they are cheap as chips anyway.. plus you can try something different next year as there are so many different courgette/squashes out there. Patty Pan and Yellow Scallops MmmMmmMmmm

Thanks, that's really helpful.  I think I'll be buying new seed then
