Just wondering... I am new at harvesting seeds. Should i let the blossoms die on their own before storing them in evelopes, or can I pick them so they die, then let them dry in envelopes... or am I doing it all wrong? Also, is it possible to dry peony blossoms for seeds, or do you have to actually dig up something? I wanted to give my farmgal some peony seeds/bulbs, but don't know how to go about harvesting them. Any advice is welcome. Thanks!
And the freezer method also keeps vermin form raiding your supply.
We have had mice get into a drawer twice and amlost eat everything. They seem to like the gourd seed best of all
Another good method is to store seed in glass jars out of the heat/moisture and sun. Think babyfood jars and those are usually the perfect size-especially for very fine or tiny seeds. You can organize these in a fishing tackle box or small rubbermaid container.
