The Spredda Leccese Scuro in New York

Another grower, from New York State, grew out the Carosello Spuredda Leccese Scuro for me. Instead of attempting to grow them in an open field, Nathaniel grew them in a high tunnel. Other than some confusion near the end of the season over how to properly dry the seeds, Nathaniel did a good job of growing the seed out. While there is a learning curve involved in growing and processing cucumber and melon seed, the grower can greatly increase the quality of the seed, if they just complete some minor winnowing. Taking out the lower quality seed enables the heavier seed to remain dry and viable.
