Hi there,
I picked a bunch of Nasturtium seeds which were shriveled on the outside and had actrually blown right off the plant...I took them home and tried like a devil to get what I thought was a seed "pod/cover..." off to get at the seed, but it only shattered or in another case, split the seeds...H-E-L-P...please? I am collecting Peach Melba, Empress of India, and a mix...can't remember the name, but they have a yellow...light orange..dull red (unlike Empress of India!)..and a more brilliant orange/red combo if I remember correctly. A couple related questions and then I'll shut up: Is it OK to pick the seed/pod when they are green and wrinkly if they--quite literally--fall off into your hand or onto the ground if shaken as long as they are allowed to dry. [I do know you MUST file down, nick, etc. the seeds before planting...might this be because you have to get rid of that dang glove-tight seed-"pod." Hmmmm.] I did do my homework and actually looked at the other posting showing the brown and shriveled seed arrangement picture that looks like a tri-shaped pea arrangement, btw. :-)
Thanks a bunch!
Sincere Thanks,
Thor
