After the first frost and or when when they are mushy.
This is the exact day the critters eat them no kidding.
I had a city kid eat one that was still hard but orange I thought he was going to die.
The seeds are very easy to grow just plant and water.
I have no idea how to preserve them but I ate a lot growing up.
