Callaloo Seeds
Last night I was "cleaning" Callaloo seeds, the process is difficult to describe but basically the short seed bearing branches are cut from the plant, leaves are removed and the branch is stripped of it's seeds, then they'll be spread out on paper and sun dried. Always use a couple of large paper bags for this process of seperating seed as the material sweats, once the seeds are dry they can be stored in a plastic baggy.
In the spring, wet the soil then plant a pinch of seed (they don't all come up) and cover lightly (rake) with about an inch of soil. I'm going to plant mine in a large plastic bucket for my garden on the balcony, drill holes in the bottom and elevate for proper drainage.
