Or spread them out on a tray in the dehydrator? Could they end up too
dry?

I'd be cautious of too much heat; the reason for the fermentation folderol
is that it removes the gel capsule around the seeds, so they aren't as
sticky to handle.

Right! I could keep the temp down but I will follow your instructions!


After drying (I have a couple of old garage
....erm..boot sale sieves) you can just rub the dry seeds in your hands to
get nice clean loose seed like the store bought ones, only vastly cheaper
(I DID mention the Scots in the family tree, right?). As a bonus with any
home-grown seed, you can pick the plants best adapted to your conditions,
and eventually end up with a local "landrace."

I understood not a tad in your last, but hey ho, at least I will be able to
store seed safely for next year if I want to)

Thank you
