Instead, they sat around here in a bucket for 2 weeks. I'd look at them kinda ashamed every time I walked past them, muttering "I really gotta do something with them" but I was in too much of a hurry and had 14 million other things to get done.....
In the end, I thought ah heck, let's just plant them and "git'em outta here". If they set seed, they set seed, if not, who cares? So I planted them down in the animal garden.....and began promptly to totally ignore them.
Actually, that whole garden was pretty much ignored. It maybe got watered a total of 6 times, Only if I remembered while I was down there, giving da Pigs their daily shower when the weather got hot.

The other day, we snipped the tops off the rutabagas. Brought them up to the house, and I got a start on snipping off all the pods. Some of them burst open and seed went everywhere, so Yeah, I guess they were ready to be dealt with!

It's quite easy to save your own seeds this way, give it a try!
