RE: drying seeds


I wash mine off in a strainer, spread them out on an old window screen
over some milk crates in the garage and put a fan on them. 
They dry pretty well in a few days and then I place them in the attic
back on the screen and let them finish drying for a few weeks. 

I found its best to dry them as fast as possible to avoid them molding
over. 
The fan does the trick.
