It sounds like leaving squash seeds in the soil over the winter helps condition them to the cold. Has anyone else here noticed this?

It is interesting but it has only happened a few times and I don’t think that is enough to draw a conclusion. I generally don’t keep volunteers of something like a squash or watermelon because I must have not liked it or would not have left it to rot in the garden. I did keep a volunteer zucchini last year that turned out very nice, but it wasn’t a frost survivor.
