I know I read on a past thread that there is a minimum time to allow seed pods to mature and that it can be safe to pick them before they turn brown and crack...but I can't find the thread that that information came from. I believe it was either
@sooby or
@admmad (maybe both) who provided information and research to back up the theory. If I remember correctly, it is something like a minimum of four weeks to allow seeds to ripen? Does this sound familiar to anyone?
