I've just been given some cucamelons and they seem a great additive for salads..

Question - the seeds around are £2 a pack + postage.. Eeeeks!! so does anyone know if I can save seed from these that I have been given?

A few of us are Gavin    I've been reporting on mine in my diary and there's a thread on here too

I'm interested in the answer to this one as well

If they're the same as the ones on the Realseeds site (and I think that they are), then I should think the seed can be saved.

They are Mexican rather than West Indian, so not sure they are the same 

I've read you have to let the fruit get really overripe to get the seeds, but bit woolly from there on how 'tis done

I'm guessing it is the same as when you want to collect cucumber or melon seeds: an extremely ripe fruit first, followed by rinsing off the gel, and then drying on kitchen paper.

Remember I am guessing  :blink:
