Donft forget to label the seeds! Beans & Peas: Let the seeds from beans and peas dry out in the pod. Break the pod open and remove the seeds.

Why Save Seeds? Some people save seeds from their favorite flowers or vegetables so they can plant them the following spring.

Answer by: Tony Hatch, Utah State University Extension State Fruit Specialist In a nutshell, walnuts are ready when they can be shaken from the tree. The husks generally crack and let the walnut fall to the ground. Under hot climates, the kernel matures before the husk splits. You should routinely crack a few nuts as harvest time approaches in order to not miss the harvesting date. When the kernels have filled, they can be shaken from the tree. The nuts should be gathered, hulled, washed and dried as soon as possible. If left on the ground, mildews and insects will take charge. Walnuts can be successfully stored in gunny sacks hanging on nails in the garage or basement. The atmosphere should be dry and cool. Sometimes the hulls turn black and are difficult to remove. These are called sticktight hulls. They stick very tightly to the seed and usually have to be removed with steel brushes. In Utah, sticktights are prima- rily caused by the walnut husk flies. The female lays her eggs in the hulls in early August. For prevention the adults need to be killed before they mate as the eggs are protected by the hulls. We are past the target date to prevent sticktight this season. As pesticide availability changes almost daily, no chemical controls are suggested here. Tb prevent the problem next season, refer to a current pesticide update that recommends chemicals that can be used to control the walnut husk fly.
