Cleaning Morning Glory seeds?

Question

I know I need a strainer of some kind after soaking the seeds. Has anyone tried this sort of trip before? feedback would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I've heart about it, but never done it!!!! Would be interested to find out how it turns out!!!!!! maybe try a potato ricer to strain them....

Answer 2

Why would you need a strainer?



I harvest the seeds through the fall, and keep them in a plastic container in the refrigerator over the winter. Then in the spring when it's time to plant, I soak them overnight, then just plant them. I just pick 'em right out of the water they'd been soaking in and put 'em in the ground. Works fine. Next spring will be the 6th generation - I haven't bought new seeds in that time, and just use the ones from last year's plants. The crop gets bigger every year - right now I have FAR more seeds than I could use myself, and they grow, blossom and seed like crazy.



When you harvest the seeds, are you keeping just the seeds, or the entire bulb that they grow in? I just keep the seeds - that's what I soak. Let those bulbs dry on the plant before you pick them, so the seeds just fall out when you crush the bulbs in your fingers.
