Pumpkin Seeds
I appear to have an abundance of these today...someone told me that Pumpkin seeds are good for you, is this true?
and if so...what are their benefits?

Re: Pumpkin Seeds
I got told that you need to let them dry out on a window sill (indoors), then put in an envelope and in the fridge for 6 - 8 weeks. Take out and plant in little pots and leave inside until early spring. Then re-plant into a growing bag and put outside. Was also advised to put straw around the bag to try and stop the slugs as they seem to love them

Re: Pumpkin Seeds
Pumpkin seeds, are they the green ones you can buy in snack packets at the supermarket?

Re: Pumpkin Seeds
Hmm, if they are the green ones, available as snacks from Asda etc then they make you fart something rotten!
