caragana seed, collecting it now before all of the pods pop open

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

caragana seed, collecting it now before all of the pods pop open. you need to time it when they start to turn brown, and before it hits the ground. unless you use a tarp. I collected a couple of brown shopping bags, and they can air dry in there for a week or two, then I'll finish them in the dehydrator on low heat, sounds like popcorn. #seedsaving
