Where do you get seeds from on plant?

The seeds are easy to collect, but there is conflicting information about the toxicity of handling the plant. Be sure to use gloves and any equipment used should not be used for food preparation after coming in contact with parts of the plant.
Foxglove's flowers bloom in succession from the bottom to the top of the tall stems. The pods turn dry and brown in similar fashion. They ripen first near the bottom of the stem. Watch the lower pods for cracks and holes. The "fox's gloves" change to resemble turtle's beaks, and split in the middle. The seeds mostly stay inside the upright pods. When a ripe pod is turned down, tiny brown or black seeds will spill out. They are small, like finely ground black pepper.
It may be wise to avoid getting the seed and chaff too close to your face. A few minutes of work will yield a reasonably clean pile of seed. Even easier than this, a fine kitchen strainer works well to get the chaff out of the seeds. (Knowing what we know, or don't know, about foxglove toxicity, you may want to dedicate a strainer to garden seed use only.)
