I once spent hours sorting the seeds away from pods only to learn weeks later that I'd unknowingly thrown away the seeds and stashed the trashy bits! @#$%^
I now look up pics for the seeds of new plants so I'll know what I'm looking to save.

I know whatcha mean!

>> I'd unknowingly thrown away the seeds

Once I had a big pile of "chaff" and a smaller pile of "seeds". So I tried germinating a small pinch of the "chaff" on a coffee filter, just see whether there might still be a few more seeds hidden in with the chaff.

I seemed to get 200% germination from the chaff.
