should bushel gourd seeds be brown?
Published (2009-12-12 22:21:00)
Yes, tan or brown is usually okay. That fuzzy bit is okay, too, it's just part of the seed. Like Rockguy said, dry without excessive heat, which would kill the embryo. As for scraping the edges before you soak them, an emery board is perfect. Sue

Thanks everyone who helped. I harvested several okra pods in late October after they had been on the plant for about 5 weeks. I let them sit in the kitchen until they were really hard and then opened them. Only one had seeds inside!! I got about 30 seeds and I am REALLY happy with this. The variety I saved is Louisiana Green Velvet and it grew 7-9 inch pods that stayed tender. BTW the other pods had tiny little specks where the seeds should...

Royal Paulownia seeds

That is about as long as the tree lives; ~70-100 years.

true from seed--what resource?
Published (2009-12-16 16:43:00)
Some native species are known to "hybridize" quite readily, so one can never be sure about the parentage of saved seeds. Two examples are asters and ironweeds. That's why saving seeds/trading seeds can be fun, but if you want the pure species, you are better buying from a reputable nursery or wild flower grower.

Hi Pattie, Since this is old post, don't know if you're still interested. But I had a problem with too many of these and most of my responses were about the rhizomes they produce and propogate with. I just checked and they CAN be propogated by seed (I don't know how, tho) but with the multitude of rhizomes that mine put off (my plants grew like bamboo and overran my entire garden), seems that is how everyone swaps them....

Hi Deanna, It is such a long and convoluted list, you will never find a complete one. Plus some things will come true, but only in isolation while others will come true no matter what. It can be confusing. Hybrids which could say Hybrid, F1, or have an X in the name will not come true. They could look similar to the parent, or they may look absolutely differnt depending on the lineage of ...

Chocolate brown is good. Dry them some more without heat. Open a few to make sure the embryo is fat. Be sure to scrape the edges and soak overnight before you plant them.

Wait till the pod is brown. It's best to pick them a bit young and put them in a bucket. And let them pop on their own. When the pods pop they seeds fling far. I collected some last fall. I want to say it was really late because the wisteria was almost bare with just the pods hanging. But I popped the pod in my hand very carefully. Mine were winter sowed and growing in my backyard now....

Some, like supertunias, are propagated vegetatively and don't produce seeds. Most petunias do produce seeds though. Seeds for all plants are supposed to dry thoroughly on the plant, i.e. turn brown or black. Petunias can also be started from cuttings. Since they tolerate relatively cold temperatures well, petunias are a prime candidates for wintersowing. I tried Laura Bush petunias this...

Hi donnabaskets, I have never saved seed from ornamental grasses, but found some info via search. Fountain Grass ~ Pennisetum- It is important to note for collection that seeds will not come readily off the spike if they are immature. For collection grasp your hand around the base of the mature inflorescence and in a clasping motion pull upwards and strip the seeds from the spike. Ripe ...

Hi Connie, You'll love winter sowing! Here's what I can tell you about your seeds~ Agastaches and salvias are closely related and their seeds ripen the same way. The flower falls out of the calyx(cup part that hold the flower to the stem) and then one to a few seeds ripen at the base of the calyx. When the calyx gets dry and or turns brown/gray, the seeds are ripe. The seed varies in color ...
