When it rains, you get a seed day indoors

Break open the Erect Baptisia (Baptisia sphaerocarpa) pods to find the seeds.
 When it is too rainy to go outdoors, volunteers at Sheldon Lake State Park & Environmental Learning Center clean seeds. A no-sweat workday.

Sometimes you need a hammer to get the seed pods open.
A bucket of seed pods will be reduced to about two cups of seeds.
If you sneeze while separating the Splitbeard Bluestem seed heads, all your work will fly away.
Seed work gives you time to chat. We managed to stay away from the topic of politics.
