Ione and I went for a stroll around the neighborhood today, since it seems to feel a few degrees cooler although probably still in the 90's. What a great time to harvest a few dried flower seed pods. I have wanted my own Pride of Barbados, desert willow, and yellow bells and hopefully these seeds will dry well. Little hands love helping and help fine tune their motor skills.
It is a good idea to put down a piece of paper to catch the seeds as you open the pods together, then roll the paper to create a funnel and pour the seeds into your container. We are using a glass jar set from Ikea $3.99 for 4. I think I will share some seeds with friends as gifts.
