   Emily, I should have taken some pictures when I did harvest them. Basically I waited until they looked really ugly (dead and brown). Since itwas my first time I did pinch a few pods open to confirm there were some viable seeds.After that, I threw them in a paper bag and forgot about them for a few months (couple weeks should be long enough but I literally forgot about them) they should be dry enough to seperate.
