I would pluck them off, just for ease of storage. The seed is what is important for next year. I have no memory of what I did last year

It’s about 7 quarts of seeds with petals left attached. I’m so tempted to just store them in a paper bag as is instead of going through them all.

Yeah I would crunch the petals up if the seed is hard enough and use the wind of breathe with them in a bowl to lightly separate some of the chaff. Sometimes I say forget it and I’ll just save some petals too bud they could mold if they aren’t dried all the way.

Will the seed not survive crunching them up a bit and then winnow?

Winnow!!! I have bern doing this technique for years, I didn't realize it had a cool name

The words from our ancestors that we have lost from lack of use. 😅 If I was ontop of my game I would have used “Threshing” instead of “crunching them up a bit”

Seen a lot of people online who save zinnia seeds still attached to the dried petals. It’s a bit tedious to pluck each petal off the seed. So I’m going to try that for this year. Besides the petals all the other chaff is discarded already.

Well they’re yours now nostr:nprofile1qqs9n2vvq3u5faj75s8nwe24tmjcn06sxcl57lw02k2vxkzthvfl7espz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezu6nrd3hh2epwv4eszxnhwden5te0wfjkccte9enk2arpd338jtnrdakj7a33hkrfqv 🤣😂 Petals are well dried and I stored them in a paper bag. Congratulations!!!
