After not knowing when some seeds are ripe and missing them, some apparently being propelled through the air immediately upon ripening, others dropping and disappearing or blowing away, I'm taking Jonna's advice, and went hunting today on the internet for organza bags to bag the seeds I most want - on the plant before they're ripe.
Do not search under seed collecting bags or anything related. I probably wasted an hour doing that. Finally I found organza bags by searching "organza bags" - duh! They're very thin - see through airy bags that are apparently used for such things as containing party or wedding favors. I found them on ebay from a place with free shipping called organzabag, and won 5 auctions of 30 bags each (3" x 4" with drawstrings) in different colors for a grand total of $8.91. I bought colors that no one seemed to want, figuring I can always give them a tea bath to mute them.
Anyway, I am so pleased, as my first thought was that I was going to have to go out and find some organza, and haul out the sewing machine that wasn't working properly when last I used it, fix it, and do a tedious job.
