Hi everyone, I'm a seed saver from the 60s especially heritage varieties!I put my seeded plants in paper bags hanging down to dry and the seeds pop out on their own !Just a handy tip from an elderly gardener !

Good morning everyone! I've found that small prescription pill bottles work great for storing tiny seeds. I asked my local pharmacy if I could purchase a few dozen of them in different sizes, and they said yes. If you have arthritis ask for the non-child-proof caps, easier to pop the lids off. The prescription bottles are amber-colored, so less light gets to the seeds, which prolongs the storage life. I write the name and date I harvested the seeds on a piece of paper and put it into the bottle along with the seeds. ~Margie

Some flowers readily reseed themselves and come up in the Spring on their own such as Larkspur, Poppies, Cosmos, Hollyhock and more. Of course, if you let nature reseed itself, they won't grow in a row. The effect will be more like a cottage garden than tidy and formal. By the way, a Laura seed giveaway is a great idea!

Or I guess it might be a carpet of different flowers from blowing out of the gator. Either way, I love the idea of tiny little seeds getting strewn around, and producing a magical kaleidoscope. Maybe she could take a pinch from each jar or envelope and just sprinkle them over her meadows. Wouldn't that be amazing?

Another memory brought to the surface. My father taught me how to harvest seeds from his gardens. He saved both flower and vegetable seeds. I remember when I was 5 years old, I was running as I carried seeds from our small barn to the house and I fell , which resulted in seeds scattering everywhere. My dad was a bit upset but he placed a few random boards around the area where I fell and stopped mowing there. Over the next few years the most wonderful gardens sprung up, full of flowers and and an occassional tomato and pepper plant. He would tell people "Marianne planted those." Thank you Laura, for bringing that memory to the surface. I think I'll be smiling all day.

I brought some in the house (thinking I would let the flowers dry out more to collect the seeds). To my surprise a whole lot of teeny tiny little black "seeds" dropped onto the placemat below the flowers. Yay, I thought, oh how exciting - basil seeds. BUT NO. A few days later little Mr. Cabbage Looper made an appearance on the leaves and I realized my silly mistake. 🤣 I was saving looper poop not seeds. OMG ewww 😂 Now, years later and wiser, I only collect 'actual' seeds. :0) Oh and I've found 4oz mason jars are perfect for seed saving too. Happy Gardening Everyone!

@LaRae Mitchell Try planting poppy seeds in the coldest part of year. Scratch up the ground where you want them, sprinkle the seeds thinly, then, just pat them down, don't cover. The winter moisture waters them and repeated freezing and thawing increases germination. East of Denver, I had fabulous luck planting in January. I'm now just East of the Colorado/Kansas border, which is a half a zone warmer than my Colorado home, so we'll see how that works.

I remember my dad having seeds in medicine bottles. Not the prettiest containers but in the 60s and 70s he used what he had access to at the time. No online ordering haha. Stay Safe and God Bless.

I have an idea for your seed saving! You could test tubes closed with corks, I started using that technique this year, and so far it's been great ;) I find that it's a more manageable way than envelopes, especially for light small seeds. Plus in your dry weather the corks should hold up pretty good :D

This video was so inspiring to me! I know a lot of the comments people say they do this, save seeds, as a hobby, but I had no idea! I want to see more Laura! I would love for you to continue on this subject. Maybe in the fall tour you could make a point to show us plants and flowers we can save seeds on and those we need to save bulbs on, like the dahlias. I'm learning so much. Thank you! Thank you! To those that have heritage gardens you pass down from generation to generation plants and flowers...You are AMAZING and I hope to be you when I grow up Lol!🌻🌻🌻 "To plant a garden is to hope in tomorrow..." is one of my favorite quotes and Laura, you and Aaron show me this all the time. Bless you!

Still voting yes to a GA seed give away. Aaron, do you second the motion? I wouldn't mind a cross bred flower ... would just call it the Garden Answer (insert flower name here) variety. Lol. On the veggie and herb side of the garden, I have a book 'Seed to Seed - Seed Saving and Growing Techniques for Vegetable Gardeners' by Suzanne Ashworth recommended by another KZbinr. Really helpful for saving heirloom varieties. How to avoid cross pollination, what plants need to go into a second season (e.g. alliums) to get the best seeds etcetera. Already made up the price of the book by how many seeds I've properly saved.

We use empty Rx containers, that are washed and dried, to store harvested seeds in. It’s an added bonus that the containers have childproof caps and we’re recycling them too. Due to RA and other health issues, I haven’t been able to work in my yard like I used to. But watching you has inspired me and I’ve decided to invest in a couple of raised beds and containers so I can do some small scale gardening! Thank you for the joy you’ve brought back into my life; I just love watching you and your family in everything you do!

Bravo Laura! Gifting seeds especially at the holidays and special occasions is such a great idea! Lots of people like to have flowers in their garden but they aren't always sure what to plant and saving them from your own zone is extra helpful. And just for the record Aaron let me answer for Laura..NEVER TOO MANY SEEDS SILLY!

Of course YOU did…now if that was me, definitely not! What a great teaching video this was! So many different aspects to gardening that I’ve never attempted in my 61 years on planet Earth, but am now inspired to because of Laura and Aaron! Thank you!
