It's interesting to read all the different ideas about how to deal with 
this seed. I've always removed the other skin and let the seeds dry 
off.  Recalcitrant seeds when Rod and Rachel were sending them never had 
the skin on them. And although I agree that boxes are probably the best 
I've also packed them in plastic used pill bottles with tape over the 
top or old slide boxes (I'm a great recycler) or anything else that 
seems strong enough to protect them. I never got a report back from all 
I sent that the seeds were damaged, even some I sent to cold climates in 
late fall. If you wait too long they start sprouting or shriveling and 
then success is much less so it is wonderful news that Lindsey is 
considering offering these kind of seeds right away.
