I'm deadheading plants so they'll continue to bloom. How ripe must the seeds be before I should save them. I've pulled pods off the native Columbine and the seeds are clearly black & ripe. The Scabiosa heads are a different story.Some of the balls are green, some are light brown, but all the seeds are tight in those little balls.Is there a best time of day to pull pods?

Thanks,

Maggie
