What part of the plant is a 'pip' and when is the best time to harvest for selling or giving away? I have a bezillion LoVs that spread and spread.

they may not grow well for you cause you are pampering them too much. ours grow under the lilac. not rich, not moist. I have transplanted dirt clumps of them tossed onto compost heaps where they were growing just fine. the only thing I can say is I have never seen them thrive in full sun in the middle of a lawn.

Indeed. They grow under our deck where it's dark nearly the entire time along with a lone daylily.
Sorry -- forgot to thank you, Brian, for the info. You will see me out beside the house in October lifting pips.
Mine are growing on the N side of the house in mostly shade and mostly clay (Zone 7b). I had them all dug up (and tossed, alas) a number of years ago, but they crept back.
