   Ping: songbird: when to harvest for seed

   Hi Songbird,   
      
   To collect onion seeds, you told me a few years ago   
   to cut the stalks off about 10" or so below the   
   cotton ball and place them in a cardboard box.   
      
   I am not sure when to harvest though (and I am   
   sure you told me).  Is it when the flowers close   
   or when the black seeds start to show.  (I did   
   the show thing last years and lost 95% of the   
   seeds.)   
      
   Here is the current condition of the cotton balls:
