I harvested some seeds from a lovely specimen of
Ricinus communis today, and am now wondering what to do next and when to do it. (Perhaps I should just have dug up one the many seedlings at its feet.
)
Should I clean the seeds or leave them in their pods?
Should I sow them now or wait until spring?
In pots or in situ?
You may gather that I have grown very little from seed before - and that was in another climate.
Edit: I have read the pinned topic on seed germination, and would sow when nature does it, but I don't know when the plant's seeds would normally be released (ejected?) from the capsules. And I also realise that many of you must be at the MGS AGM at the moment, but I dare say there's no hurry.
