No, haven't kept the seeds, but it wouldn't be difficult to do that as 
they are large.  When I first planted it, I never thought it would come 
back.  That year, it was next to the beans and it climbed the bean pole. 
 The second year, it just crawled over the bed, then over the plastic 
pipe hoop, and last year, I discovered it would climb a tomato cage, so 
that's what it is climbing this year. It dies back to the ground at the 
first freeze.  Basically, it's easy, it's pretty, and you can eat it. 
What more can you ask for?
