Ive recently grown some huge cuc's first time lucky! but was wondering if I could dry some of the seeds in them to replant? does it work like this, big cuc's have more big cuc's, or should I just get seedlings again from the shop? and how to dry the seeds?

just take the seeds and spread them out on a plate/saucer, place in a warm spot (window sill will do). When they have dried you can store them in a container (old jar with lid) & plant two or three seeds together in clumps and grow as normal. That's what worked for me with bush cucumbers that I grow in a large pot with a wire trellis around the pot with two or three clumps depending on the size of pot
