I want to be able to reuse at least some seeds next year. I read somewhere that you need to get heirloom seeds to be able to do it - I know my pie pumpkin seeds are heirloom, but I don’t know about the rest. Here is what I have planted:

Peas (two types)
Green Beans
Lima Beans
Lettuce & Spinach (various varieties)
Carrots & Radishes
Potatoes (Yukon Gold)
Tomatoes (cherry, Roma, Better Boy and Early Girl)
Green Pepper
Jalapeno Pepper
Onion
Cantelope
Watermelon

I plan on saving my marigold seeds, I remember my mom doing that when I was young. I was just curious about veggie seeds. I think my mom used to save seeds from squash - said something about a bag over the flower (?) so it doesn’t cross pollinate and then let it mature on the vine. Any help would be appriciated - even if I need to buy different varieties next year.
