Seed Collecting:
Allow pods to dry on plant; break open to collect seeds

Nick the seed right near where the root will come out. You can use a nail clipper and just chip out the corner where the seed was attached to the seed pod, soak them in HOT water for 24hrs. It will cool over night, the seed will plump. Remove from water and place them on a soaking wet paper towel, fold to fit in a small Ziploc bag. Place the seeds at the fold in the paper towel, zipping it into the plastic bag. Leave for 3-5 days in full sun, or as much sun as you can give it. Check after three days for root starts. Once you have the tips started, plant the seeds in good soil about ½ an inch deep. Place in full sun, and watch it grow!
