Dry the seeds until they are thoroughly dried, as any moisture will cause mold to form. Store in a dry dark location until needed. Ziplock bags, jars, or paper envelopes are all suitable to store them in. Seeds from over-ripe watermelons are best, as are ones that have not been grown in close proximity to another melon.

When a flowering plant turns into a bulb it does not die. It simply changes its form so that the flowering part of the plant is sheltered within a series of protective layers. A hardy bulb, such as a tulip bulb, can survive the winter if it is planted in the fall. A tender bulb, such as a begonia, cannot survive the winter and must be planted in the spring. If you are replanting tender bulbs, you must dig up the bulbs in the fall and store them in a cool dry place for the winter.
Store daffodil bulbs in a cool, dry place with good air circulation to prevent rotting. Keep them in a paper bag or mesh bag to allow for ventilation. Check them periodically for any signs of mold or decay. Plant them in the spring once the ground thaws for beautiful blooms.
When picking a watermelon at the store, look for one that is heavy for its size, has a creamy yellow spot on the bottom, and makes a deep, hollow sound when tapped. These signs indicate that the watermelon is ripe and sweet.
To properly overwinter banana plants, you should cut back the leaves, dig up the plant, and store it in a cool, dry place with temperatures above freezing. Water sparingly during the winter months to prevent rot. Replant the banana plant in the spring after the last frost.
Place your bulbs in a tupperware container and put the in the refrigerator until spring. Don't store them with apples because their gasses will kill them.
