Hello donna,
I too collect seeds from my garden ... all year long to post on my web
site for exchanges and sales. Can not keep an eye on them all every day so
I use panty hose to catch mine. Simply cut pieces of the hose to form tubes
you tie off on one end with thread. Slip the tube over the pollinated seed
pods and wrap gently around the stem and again tie off with thread. When
all of the seed has fallen into the tube clip the stem and place all in a
small paper bag and label. Thumbtack to a rafter in the garage or something
similar. Sort for sowing later at your leisure.
