Clean and winnow the dried pepper seed to separate it from chaff and pulp, a resident's own home garden, near the town center, Refugio, TX 78377 (Refugio County; best-estimate location, exact address not confirmed).

Dried seed straight off the plant still carries pod fragments, dried pulp, and chaff mixed in; seed stored dirty molds faster and is harder for the next grower to sow evenly, so it has to be cleaned before it is labeled or stored.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

before/after photos of seed versus chaff + screen-and-winnow method confirmation + resident permission on file

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the seed is fully dry, hard, and snaps rather than bends, from the prior rung before cleaning; damp seed is never cleaned or stored, it goes back to drying.
2. 2. Rub the dried pods or seed heads gently by hand over a clean container to break the seed loose from the surrounding chaff and pulp.
3. 3. Pass the seed and chaff mix through a screen or sieve sized to let the seed through and hold back larger chaff, working over a clean tray.
4. 4. Winnow the remaining fine chaff from the seed by pouring it between two containers in a light breeze or in front of a small fan, or by gently blowing across a shallow tray, repeating until only clean seed remains; photograph the cleaned seed.

What counts as done

• Confirmation that the seed was fully dry before any cleaning step began
• Photo of the seed and chaff mix before cleaning
• Photo of the cleaned, chaff-free seed after screening and winnowing
• Confirmation that only hand tools, screens, and containers were used

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Edible Garden Cultivation. Edible garden cultivation is food growing done to the standards the land-grant universities have refined for a century: healthy soil in tested beds, the right crop in the right season, hand tools, patience, and records. Mastery looks like a Master Gardener's plot, beds that feed a family most of the year from a piece of ground the size of a parking space. Every gardener who reaches that point started with a single bed and a single season. This packet is that start: one bed built or tended properly, one honest note about what happened.
