Text Cut: Stella's notes
Harvesting Puffapod Seeds

[1] Put on your protective gear.
[2] Using the scalpel make an incision down the side of the pod, from top to bottom.
[3] Insert your hand into the incision and remove the seeds from the membrane. (You should get around 4 or 5)
[4] Collect the seeds into the bags provided, remove the remaining membrane from the plant by simply pulling it off the stem and place it in the compost heap.
[5] Tidy up your work space and wait for further instructions.

You will need: Scalpel, apron, latex gloves, calico bag.


Now that she had her pod sliced open, Stella lightly ran her finger along the incision one more time as she worked herself up to sticking her hand inside. Even though she had gloves on, she was still a little concerned about the slime. It reminded her a little too much of potions, some of the ingredients they had to use, but she needed to keep moving before Professor Bentley moved on with the lesson. She wasn't about to fail the lesson just because of a little nervousness about slime. She wasn't about to fail the lesson in any way, and with that in mind, she steeled herself to start harvesting. Shifting her hand deeper into the pod, she let herself adapt to the squishy feeling before searching for seeds.

Finding one, she pulled it out of the pod, cleaning it off like the professor had demonstrated and then setting it on top of the calico bag until she finished this step. Reaching back into the pod, she continued locating the seeds and removing them, silently counting each one. Once she got to five, she reached inside the pod one last time just to check, then sat back. It seemed like she'd cleaned it out, so time to move on to the next step.
