     they sure are if you don't have a high water table or other   
   hazards.  here we have a crawlspace but it is way too warm to   
   be used as storage space and also it is hard to access.

     i grew a hulless seeded squash this year and it was great for   
   roasting those seeds.  i wish i had a lot more space as they   
   were not too hard to process.  the flesh of the squash was   
   fairly bland and not worth using at all, but the worms took   
   care of that.   
      
     there's at least one squash available that has both the   
   hulless seeds and edible flesh but i'm going to see if i can   
   get my own cross to come about.  with all the bees around here   
   it should not be too difficult.  i already have a good cross   
   that might work out so we'll see how they go.  large seeds,   
   large squash, plenty of flesh for eating and not too wet and   
   slimey inside so that makes it nice for seed harvesting.   
      
     i'm going to be planting more of these next season to see   
   how they go and if they'll become stable.   
      
     wish i had more room...  always more projects to keep me   
   busy.  :)
