Okay. Planted calendula (NOT marigold) last spring. They did OK, then died in the summer heat, came up a little bit in the fall, and now I have a couple of beautiful patches. I want to harvest the seeds, but I also want to cut the flowers so they'll keep blooming. This morning I cut some spent blooms, but the seeds were still green. If I let them dry on the kitchen counter, will they be viable seeds? Or do they have to ripen on the plant? Usually I'll just roll my finger over the seeds and if they fall off easily I figure they're ripe.
Any advice would be most welcome. I hope to use them to dye some wool if I can get enough to grow.
