Hi Songbird,

The green onions I planted last years in my farrow
bin are going nuts!Â*Â* I have been ripping their
leaves off regularly.

Now they are starting to seed.Â* They look like this:

I would like to collect the seeds for next year.
What do I do next?

Cut a piece of pantyhose leg about 6 inches long . Tie one end in a
knot , pull it over the seed pod and use a twist tie to hold it snugly
against the stem of the seed pod . This will allow the seeds to mature
naturally and the pantyhose will catch them for you .
