I save a couple of the best heads - and dried them out.

I have just come to removes the seeds (for sowing this year) - but
there was nothing in the cases.

I assume that they had not been fertilised.

Is that correct - what can one do to get good seeds from the flowers.

I always find that a proportion of the seeds will be empty, but the biggest
fattest ones will not be. Incidentally, how have you kept the heads until
now without them going mouldy?

You are right.

I had hung them in the greenhouse.

When I noticed they were going mouldy - I took them inside and put
them near a radiator - it seemed to do the trick.
