| Do I need to let the seeds dry on the vine? I have quite a few black seeds now, but they look like ripe berries full of juice. |

| Hi Ruth, There is a seed in the middle of each berry. In my Seed to Seed book. it is recommended to put the seed in a fine mesh strainer and rub against the sides under running water to remove the outer berry part. The put on paper towels on plate to dry complete. Remy |

| Thanks for the info remy. Maybe this will help others with the same question. Yesterday I wore gloves and rubbed each berry as hard as I could between my fingers as I picked them. I put them in a colander and ran water over to get as much color out as possible, then put on paper towels to dry. They actually dried a lot overnight and today I separated more of the pulp from the seeds. Overall it was pretty easy. |
