Yes, you can. Just scoop them out and disentangle the seeds from the whitish stems that hold them in place. Then spread the seeds on a sheet of newspaper to dry (don't wash off the film that covers them) and once they are dry, store them in a cool dry place over the winter and plant them next spring.

If that was a particularly great pumpkin because it was a hybrid then the seeds will not grow the exact same pumpkin. Hybrids don't produce seeds that are identical to themselves.
I am not sure that keeping a bag of smelly seeds laying around the house for half a year to save 50 cents on a new seed packet is a great money saving trick. yes you could wash them and brush off that pumpkin goo and then carefully dry them - but won't that take 50 cents worth of effort and water to get done?
Go for the new ones. Maybe next year they will have an even better hybrid that you will like even more.

effective can, yet as others have suggested (some incorrectly) maximum tree end result are grafted from a discern inventory and subsequently are a clone (no longer a hybrid) of that discern, the seeds grown out will unlikely resemble the discern. vegetables are distinctive, those are ordinarily hybrids, and not even good hybrids. So planting those will yield some thing like between the unique dad and mom or some thing with undesirable characteristics. For a house backyard, a tomato with a thick epidermis that may cope with an excellent style of coping with and long transport instances isn't desireable, lots extra powerful seeds obtainable. So fruit seeds may well be relaxing to plant yet do no longer anticipate the unique product, and vegetable seeds are ultimate left interior the rubbish. except its from a interior sight industry grower, which could have extra powerful sorts.

Yes, of course. My mom does it every year. You could also fry the pumkin seeds and eat them when they're crisp & warm. Add salt to make them taste better.

Yes, you can. Place them on a paper towel to dry and put them in a cool dry place. Then in the spring, you can plant them.
