Hi everyone I have a lot of Lupins I have let go to seed but was just abit unsure when is the best time to harvest them? At the minute they are still green and furry and have been that way for about 3weeks now. Thanks

    They'll go brown or black and the pod will dry off, then they're readyimage

    Okay so wait till it's brown/ black them harvest them? Do I need to leave them to dry out any further until the seeds fall out or?

    Once they're ripe I'd remove them from the pods if they haven't escaped already and make sure they're really dry. Then store in paper envelopes, not plastic
