I just found a little cache of squash seeds that I forgot I had...they've 
been stored airtight in a cool, dark place for 2 or 3 years, so they should 
be OK. Added to the ones I bought for this year, I have over 20 different 
varieties of winter squash (what can I say, I like winter squash). Many are 
'maxima'. That doesn't include the 10 varieties of melons, cucumber, and 
summer squash (I also found packs of 12 different tomato varieties..some 
packs only have 3 or 4 seeds left). Even if I plant a full acre, I don't 
have enough room to separate the squash very far from one another. I'll have 
to hand pollinate and bag them to save seed.
