Post #7179032

Hi all,
Last year, I faithfully waited until my Nasturtiums (A burgundy color that I haven't been able to track down a name for, precisely and hadn't seen previously but that came with a "_____ Nasturtiums" labeled mix from a fellow trader!) produced those lovely burgundy/green seeds became full size and caught them as they fell when I shook the plant gently. But, as I let them dry under open air in a room that was cooler but still above 50 Degrees F., their skins began to crack and the rest of the poor things began to crumble as well. Does anyone know a trick or secret to prevent this from happening again...two survived so I have another shot this year and don't want it to be my last with this neat color? Thanks for your help with this issue!!!
