Gardening plant and tree seeds

Ideally get the cones from the grass around the tree in the fall (better) or in the early spring (if the cones still have a few seeds).

For storage or for planting. Be sure to wash everything first - hands, tools and don't touch towels or other surfaces, let dry at air

For storage or fro planting. Be sure to wash everything first - hands, tools and don't touch towels or other surfaces, let dry at air For hard shell seeds, we need first to crack and remove the shell - cherries, apricots, peaches. I use a bench vise and put the shell horizontal into the vise (grab the perimeter of the shell) then slowly turn the vise until the shell cracks, then remove the seed from the shell.
