T Stands For Harvesting

Reggie's Morning Glory seeds. After the flower blooms (and they only bloom for one day) the flower shrivels up into these hard, brown pods. The pods are collected

I collected a cup full of pods.

The brown pods are dry and brittle. When you squeeze them, the tiny, black seeds fall out. Each pod has anywhere from two to six seeds in it.

My afternoon tea was a London Fog. Earl Grey tea, vanilla stevia, cream shaken so it froths when poured. It's supposed to be steamed and made frothy, but quick and dirty is fine by me. Yes, my tea is in a Christmas mug. It was clean. Don't judge me.

Since we had such warm temperatures late into the season, a lot of the pods are still green and soft. I'll leave them out on a paper plate to see if they dry and harden. If they do, I'll harvest the seeds.

The harvested seeds have been stored in a warm, dry place for further drying for a week. Next week, if they are thoroughly dried (very hard), they will be put in a plastic bag with a desiccant pack to wait for next Spring. Hopefully, they won't mold.

The Heavenly Blue Morning Glories didn't produce flowers 😿 so I'll have to buy another packet of seeds next year.
