Hi Amy, here's the method of a fellow gardener that saves his own seeds:
For cukes, tom's, melon's, etc. he allows them to age on the plant (gets more fertile seeds per unit he claims) then opens them and squishes the seed into the bottom of a bucket, squishes it around a bit more to allow the seed to seperate from the pulp and pours in water. Removes the pulp - which floats to the top, and any seeds that float up - these seeds will not produce. He then pours it over a drying screen and lets them dry and packages them into large envelopes. Good luck, Jacqueline (ps: if it doesn't work why don't you try transplanting from your compost heap :~) )
