hey guys i cut all my ball seeds off last week green or brown and brought them inside in a tray.. let them brown up or cut green ones open...carefull cause the thorns hurt bad... i know...stuck in finger now and they are very thin thornes... dry out on paper towel to get out all the wet stuff.... then i put in season bottles with only the hole tops on them and put in crisper drawer in frig. or give to friends... i see on net they sell the seeds by the ounce... might be an idea!!!!
