I think I picked all of the pods while green

So, I have a live aboard boat. The marina we live at has a huge vining honeysuckle in it. I picked almost every pods while green. Reading on how to harvest the seeds, seems I am in a bit of a pickle because I didnt let them complete the turning cycle. Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to still harvest the seeds, or dry the pods because I have a huge container full.
Thanks
Jud

Major confusion here.

First off - WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?? This is paramount to anyone being able to help you.

Second - the only honeysuckles I'm familiar with produce berries, not any type of "pods". But again - perhaps you live in an area where honeysuckle varieties differ from those in my area. Thus the importance of giving at least a general location.

Third - what do you want honeysuckle seed for? If you wanted the seed in order to grow more honeysuckle, then unfortunately yes, you need to allow them to mature & dry on the vine. Immature seed won't work for sowing.
