I would like some of the aconitum seeds-trade or sase. Here is a link that might be useful: my trade list

Hi Tepelus & garden friends! I have a question about harvesting the Acontium seeds: I have several green pods on my plants that I've been anxiously watching for weeks now...and watching...and watching...and nothing seems to be changing with them. What should I expect to happen? Its already well into the 20s here at night and Im hoping to get seeds from these beautiful plants but I dont know what to look for! (note: there are some black, shrivelled parts in with the nice fat green pods, I figured these weren't any good...now Im wondering, are THESE the seeds I want?) Confused, Kerry

Like northerner, I'm still trying to collect seeds. Spent last night cleaning rudbeckia seeds. I'm also still doing fall clean up and mulching all my beds with leaves. I'm adding large amounts to stuff to my compost daily, getting it ready to sleep for a couple of months. I have 5 big construction bags of leaves to shred and mulch my beds. I need lots more, which I'll try to get on Tuesday, the day before garbage collection, and hopefully many more to be delivered by neighbors. Haven't even thought about Christmas yet. Haven't bought or done a thing. No, we'll be well into January before I can think about winter sowing. Karen

BEV:I have Blue Monkshood and would be interested in a trade for some of your "Ivory" seed but my Monkshood hasn't even begun flowering as of yet. Are you only wanting seeds or I could pull up a couple of roots and send them along if you are interested. Let me know. Ross.
