Leave the bag open to allow air circulation around the pods. Hold the pods over a bowl and split them open with your fingernail. Shake the seeds out of the pod and into the bowl, separating any plant material from the seeds. Place the seeds in an envelope labeled with the petunia variety or color and the harvest year. Seal the envelope closed and store it in a cool, dark place until you are ready to plant the seeds. Harvest seed from more than one plant. If one plant produces unviable or inferior seed, you'll have backup seeds available.
