How to harvest Common Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis) seeds

This video provides an overview of how to harvest Common Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis) seeds. You might see that some pods have a tiny hole in the the size of a needle point. This is a sign that a worm lives inside it and that there are no seeds to harvest so just leave those pods on the stem thanks!

One species we most definitely don't have to collect anymore! Holy spread, Batman! :-)

we could use more donations this year if you can :)

It's the one species we didn't bother to collect since they seed so well. There may still be some viable ones kicking around so if we find 'em we'll set some aside.
