We have limited pumpkin growth at this house - not as much room to let them roam! Have also found they're not so successful here. Butternut pumpkin isn't so easy to grow here. Qld blue go great (but we can't always get seedlings).

We save capsicum seeds drying. Peas and beans too. Tomato self seed like crazy so hubby just transplants them to another spot to avoid blossom end rot.

Astrid, I totally agree with you about how fascinating some veggies seem when they go to seed. Even boring old ice berg lettuce looks pretty interesting
