Well, I may have to do just that, Jon ... what I've been doing, because the paper bag is just not working for me. The wind keeps blowing it off right now ... there's so much wind. I guess I'll get plenty of seeds that are mature this way and that should work.

As this picture shows, I've been cutting the pods and a bit of the stem off, as in the first picture, and putting them head down into a Mason jar. Then I take them inside, where it is much dryer due to the air conditioner, and leave the jar open, so that they can dry. I just keep adding to it as the pods get to that point. When all is pretty dry, I'll remove the pods. Do you think they continue to mature in the mason jar as they dry? Or do they just mature when they're still on the plant? Geee, sorry for being so technical ... I just like to know.
