Lightly cover seeds with soil as they need sunlight for germination and thin to 2-9\" apart. For transplanting: start seeds 4-6 weeks before the last frost and be careful not to disturb the roots too much while transplanting into the garden after the soil warms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSeed keeping notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow seed pods to fully dry to a crunchy stage. Carefully harvest most of the stem and place directly upside down in a clean, dry bucket. Many of the seeds will fall right out. To remove more seeds, whack the seed heads against the sides of the bucket. Use a sieve to remove the bigger chaff, and winnow off the light weight chaff carefully using your breath, a fan, or the wind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strawflower Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42316836667630,"sku":"FLO-033","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2406\/3467\/products\/AlbionBlackPodNigella1.jpg?v=1641927628","url":"https:\/\/trueloveseeds.sbs\/products\/albion-black-pod-nigella","provider":"Truelove Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
