harvesting sweet pea seeds

Question

I have picked some sweet pea pods from a friend’s plant. Some are ripe and some are still green. Can I ripen the green ones in the hot water cupboard or similar? Thanks.

Answer 1

Plant seeds, whether for flowers or some other kind of plant, need to ripen on the plant before you pick them. As far as I know, there's no way to ripen seeds off the plant.
