We just spent several minutes planting, I mean harvesting, some milk thistle seeds and wondered if there was a better method to separate the seed from the fuzzy part without planting a bunch of milk thistles in my parents back yard… oops. What do you do to harvest large amounts?
For those that don’t know, milk thistle seeds have wonderful little dandelion-seed parachutes to help them fly around. When I harvest it, I cut the heads off and then remove the seeds from the heads indoors. :0)
