moonflower seed saving

waukesha, WI(Zone 5a)

After three hard frosts the moonflower vine looked pretty dead. When I cut it off the arch trellis, I saved lots of seeds. Has anyone had any success in saving them over winter? They are pretty green, and don't have a brown papery husk like the morning glories do. I have lots. The flowers were huge, although it bloomed very late.

Just let the pods dry, unless you've already taken them out of the pods. In that case, I don't know if they will grow or not. I save them every year, but let the pods dry before removing the seeds.

They are sitting on a shelf, all intact. I didn't want to mess with them while they were so green, in this case my willingness to procrastinate paid off. It seldom does! Thanks for the help.
