I repacked all of mine from paper to plastic, but had never used plastic before, as well. They were dry enough by then, I think. I snagged a few of Judy's (obliqua) pumpkin seeds, as well and noted slight mold then. I put mine out for a few days to finish drying before putting them away. They definitly are too intriguing not to give them a try. :-) Kelley
CLOSED: 2015 FALL SEED ROBIN IN FLIGHT
Kelley, so glad you had time to go through the box slowly. Enjoy!
GM Sorry to hear about some Mold on seeds , this happens & I have seen Mold even with Paper packets , it can happen ,but this only Happens when the seeds did not have long to dry for we wanted to share , & for that we are all very sorry .
So please if you find allot of Mold just throw the pack out if it is just a small amout remove the moldy ones & put the other seeds in a Papper
envy . or put Pin holes in the baggie .
I will save all the pumpkin seeds that I can. So far, the mold hasn't progressed. They are still spread out, drying on a paper which I will tend to when I get home from work tonight. I still have a bit of work to do to get my own stuff into the Robin but hope to ship by Tuesday.12/8/2015.
By the way, it was so much fun to look through the bags. I found some very interesting stuff but took small amounts so that the seeds will go around to everyone.
Thank you for the up-date timmy
Hi I just started a thread about seed drying, I thought y'all might be interested in how I did it. I'd like to hear about other seed saver methods too.

I mailed the Robin out this afternoon (12-8-2015), and deejay9 has the tracking number. I am excited for the next ones in line!
Woohoo! Looking forward to receiving the robin before too long.

Gm A warm 47* Going to go to the potting shed & Get My winter sowing containers , sort my seeds as to what I Can Plant Now & Have Nice Blooms Next spring , summer , & Fall :) & also I Hope to Have Allot More Newer types of seeds to share Next season :)
Well I have to get my started you all be well & Have a great day .
The pumpkin seeds are still drying in my house. I wiped the mold off of some of them and packaged them in paper envies for those who asked and included those envies in the big ziploc for specific recipients.
I felt that it would be labor-intensive to clean off all of the seeds, but if I should send them somewhere, please let me know. Thanks.
You said you put seeds Back in The robin for all who asked for them ?? & Have the rest dryer ??? Ok When they are completely Dry you can send them to me I Will add them to the 2nd robin . ONLY If they are ok to share . & Thank you for taken the time to do this . for us .
We all feel bad when this happens & we all Know it can Happen So as a team We try to fix this this .
TY all
What a mess I cant navigate the forums now. Ads pop up while I am browsing. I dont like this at all. GRRR They crunched our forums down so they could add ads.
I have posted 1st and it disappeared. I know there have been post since Nov. 6th.
To deejay: You and another person asked for 5-6 seeds, and I didn't see any other requests, so those two envelopes are in the main baggie for specific trades. I felt that the rest of the seeds were not nice enough to send so they are still drying in my house. When does the second Robin depart?
Lavina: I am with you; I hope this is just a glitch and not what the forum will look like from now on. You're right, it's a mess. You can probably find your posts if you look hard enough, but this layout is not user-friendly at all.
