Hi all,
I'm considering taking the plunge with starting seeds this fall/winter after reading all of your posts here. Is there a good primer on how to start seeds indoors somewhere on the net?
I've found some fat seed pods on Frances Williams, Invincible, Dream Queen, Golden Meadows, and Blue Mammoth. Ater plucking a pod from Invincible and FW, I see long thin black seeds inside. How do I store the seeds until planting?
Thanks for sharing your advice,
Kevin in KC

Kevin,
Our old Hosta FAQ had two pages of info, one with hints from GrannyNanny. The links on Page 1 aren't live any more, but the internet archive still works for them.
Good luck! I need to do a sort of primer for our local hosta society newsletter, which is doing a seed exchange this fall.
