Saving tropical seed pods

Postby Schmetterling » Tue Sep 07, 2010 6:45 am

This is the first year I have planted tropical milkweed. I have pods, when is the best time to harvest them to store for planting next year? Do they need to dry out more, right now they are still very green.

I love this website that was created by a teacher in California:

What is a seed pod? How can I collect seeds?
