    This year was my first to grow a Moonflower vine, so I don't know much about them. I'm guessing these are seed pods... am I correct? If so, any tips on harvesting them?

    Looks like them, but they aren't ripe yet. You can gently tie a gauze bag over them to catch the seeds as they ripen.

    cherylad ,I never have a problem catching them .They dry you pick them .If you had a huge of blooms you should have a huge amount of seeds.
