Just interested how everyone collects and cleans seeds?  
Today I had a light bulb moment ( don’t know why it’s taking me so long!! ). While trying to work out how I was going to remove the quite tight fitting homemade net bag from my Bombay cockscomb without loosing all the seeds ( especially as they fall through the net bag with to much disturbance, I discovered    Rolleyes ) . I got one of the spare little metal pet food dishes. You have to have spares, you never know when or who you’re going to need to feed    Cool . It’s a life changing, time saving little metal miracle! 
I managed to catch all the seeds that fell from the bag and plant. Also using the same dish to clean the seeds/ remove chaff was brilliant and so quick compared to how I usually do it.

   
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.

Most of my seeds are collected by a gardening glove with a hand inside Big Grin then transferred to an empty spread box and forgotten. Then I ask the forum to identify the seeds the following spring. It seems a recurring theme hereabouts. You've probably guessed, not much serious seed saving goes on here.

I usually cut the flower/seedpod off and put it in a paper bag/envelope. Bring it into the kitchen, put it aside and forget about it until spring - which year I'm not saying!
