I was actually looking for a way to grow the seeds from a butternut. How would I do that? Dry them and store them till spring, I guess? And then what?

@DogWar7800 The vines will die off, but don’t let the squashes get hit by frost!

butternut squash does not produce gourds… Gourds are an entirely different plant

How many gourds does one butternut squash normally produce?
