     when outside is wrinkled.   
      
     remove seeds and put them on paper to dry, not   
   in the sun, stir once in a while to make sure they   
   all get completely dry.  it may take a while to be   
   sure.

     they have to be completely dry before putting them   
   into plastic.  store in the fridge in a well sealed   
   container.  when taking them out to plant remove them   
   from the fridge and let them come up to room temperature   
   before opening the container.  or if you only want a   
   few open the container quickly, remove the seeds you   
   want and put the top back on and put them immediately   
   back into the fridge.
