A trick I learned while working with William Woys Weaver and his Roughwood Seed Collection: after threshing and winnowing or simply shelling beans, it helps to lay the seeds out in a well ventilated room away from sunlight so they can dry down a little more before storage. I give them a week or two. This year, I also have a fan blowing on them and a dehumidifier in the room. This can help prevent molding or rot in storage. Almost everything you see in this photo was meticulously cleaned by the farmers (and me) at @novickurbanfarm yesterday! #seedcleaning #seeddrying #seedkeeping #seedsaving #seed @roughwoodseeds
