After removing 2 small pods off a single fern leaf and checking the seeds, I pulled all the pods off the remaining singles. I ended with something like 280 seeds, most of which readily fell out of the pod as I opened them. I cut one seed in half with a very sharp x-acto knife and found it to be solid internally and filled with the seed material. Separated them into batches of 20, put them in a ziplock bag with vermiculite and a dash of weakly fertilized water, put all the bags is an open top cardboard box inside a black plastic bag then put the box on top of a freezer in the garage. This type of freezer has the heat exchanger built into the sides and top and is noticeably warm when it is running. With the darkness, growing medium, and moisture, they should germinate if they are fertile. If the progress turns out well, I have no idea of what to do with over 200 new fern leafs, but it will be interesting to see the results.
