I've tried somewhere over three hundred crosses this year. Not all of them caught and some pods aborted, and I still have flowers to cross (but I probably won't). I can't guess how many pods I will harvest, other than way more than I have room to start in the house. (Still gonna try though!)
Pretty much everyone seems to dry seeds for a couple of days. Then dry chilling for a month or so (longer if one wants to wait until closer to spring before germinating), then damp chilling (stratifying) til seeds sprout.
This year I am sticking mine in little baggies (2 x 3, available at Michael's) and dampening the pod x pollen tag with water. Last year, I wrote the cross on the outside and just put in a couple of drops of water. Had issues with only one cross- not one seed in the batch germinated.
