TOPIC: Seeds Ripening yet?

Same thing here in Vermont on some very mature plants.

I have been getting some red berries over the last few days. Already picked 50 or so -got to get them before the varmits find them.

Lenno are you just planting or bringing them home to stratify?

Guys I went out and looked at a few plants and saw alot of berrys in the pods that where green and getting full,but none of them are red yet im in Bell co Ky.

maya, these are seeds from my plants and I am going to stratify them. I got a pound last year and im hoping for a lot more than that this year.

The hazards of delaying berry picking by a day - I was going to go out to my little patch on Sunday to pick ripe berries, but got busy with other things, so didn't get out there until yesterday (Monday)evening. Well, squirrels or something have taken off the entire seed pods of many of the plants that had ripe seeds! The stem and entire seed heads were gone! I did manage to pick some berries, but not like I was hoping for. That is what I get for waiting an extra day, 'cause the heads were loaded with red berries on Saturday when I looked them over!

I guess I'll go out every day or so to pick whatever berries are ripe at that time, rather than letting the critters take the entire seed crop!

That's cool Lenno! I went to a spot today, all berries were green.

Kchacha, that stinks, I guess you could call it natural planting. Hopefully they will be depostited in suitible soil!
