Milkweed"Picking may be done any time after the seeds begin to turn brown and until the pods have opened but before the floss has blown away. It is not necessary to examine every pod before it is picked. Examine a few, and if the majority have some brown seed, they may all be picked. This degree of ripeness should not be expected before early September.
Immediately after the picking, the bags of pods should be hung in the open to dry. if the pods are packed in a tight box or thrown in a heap in the barn or on the ground, they are likely to mold very quickly and spoil the floss. A simple way of hanging up bags is to tie the tops of two together and saddle them over the fence. If you can't do this, you may have to fasten each bag to the fence by a small wire hook. On barbed- wire fences, single, firmly tied bags can be hooked on the barbs" (np).
