Re: help with collecting seeds
Wash them off in a vegetable strainer in the sink. Spread them out on a window
screen and block it up so air flow's under it if possible and put them a cool dry
place for about three weeks. You can also spread them out on newspaper somewhere.
Store them in a Barn, loft, spare bedroom, garage whatever. Some growers prefer
not to wash them. If there not too slimy you may not have to.
Before storing them, make sure they are completely dry. Put them in an air tight,
preferably dark container with some silicon Gel or rice to absorb any extra
moisture. Store them in the refrigerator or cool place for the winter.
That should do it.
