Post #7095773

This is my first year saving seeds for my own seed bank. I have the book Seed To Seed and have followed the directions for washing and saving the seeds. Despite washing them in soapy water, and even putting them between two wet paper towels to hand-wash them, then drying them with a dry paper towel, two days later, they are still sticky. Does anyone know why and how I can get them "dry"?

Thanks for helping me learn!!
:) Glenda
