What a gorgeous box of seeds!
I don't know whether they arrived Saturday or Monday because I couldn't get to the mailbox over the weekend. But there they were last night! Thank you, everyone, especially Libby!
@jimard8, did you wrap a dryer anti-static sheet around your bundle for me? Or Libby, was that from you? Whomever, thank you! I was just thinking a few days ago: "Where will I get my hands on a used dryer sheet? Maybe hang out in a laundromat and browse their trash?"
Instead, it looks like I was given a new one!
Fortunately I haven't had to divide or pack dust-like seeds since the last time I traded some Lobelia. I thought the ground cherry seeds might be tiny, but they are big enough and heavy enough not to "float" out of the Ziploc due to static.
I also found how to collect those seeds, for the future:
"squeeze the pulp from the ripe fruit and mix with water. Allow to settle, and the seeds will sink to the bottom."
(Several people have said they have trouble germinating them, so ti seems desirable to have lots of seeds even if you only need a few plants for snacking. Of course, if you want to make jam, lots of seeds and plants might be necessary.
One person said that she cleaned them like tomato seeds (fermented the seeds with the pulp) "to reduce disease". Does anyone think that's necessary or desirable?
I will send it Monday sorry for the delay, I haven't felt well the last few days.
Rest, hot tea, orange juice, and chicken noodle soup... Just not all together at once. And stay away from milk products until you're better. (Do I sound like your mom yet? 
)
I don't think most people realize how much milk slows down the process of getting better though. I didn't take it seriously until the last year or two.
