Doing some electronic housekeeping - I'm not sure if these ever were
answered or not. Sharon took a "time-out" this year, but she's in the
list of catalog sources on Tom Little's web site. And there is a lot of
information on various home-pages about the other questions. The short
answers (too late for this year maybe) are : Let the pods dry till they
split, gather the seeds, plant them outdoors in the fall. The seeds
will produce plants that are a mix of the genetic makeup of both
parents.
