Awesome zinnias and marigolds.

Hidy Linda...they did really good this year...we've enjoyed them. Hope you are well! Jill

Beautiful plants, always looking for tough plant as it's really windy where we are now. 🌸💗🌸

[@ntxg]

OHHHH SBSP...they are very hearty...how's the house coming along?

@@ntxg Hi, the painters are there at the moment, floor tiles have been delivered and the water tanks will also go in very soon. The site manager told us he thinks it's almost dry enough to get the paths and patio concreated so it's going to be a few busy weeks. They think we may be in October some time but no promises because of the virus. The area we used to live in is under a disaster stage 4 almost a full on lockdown and we are stage 3. Our builder can only have 5 tradesmen on site at one time. Things are pretty bad here in Victoria and will hopefully get better soon.💗

I try to save my marigolds and snapdragon and other flower seeds. (In addition you the fruits and veggies) The more you do it the the easier and more fun it gets! 😊

[@ntxg]

HeySUZ...yes we will save our marigolds as well. So exciting to grow from your own saved seeds. Praying you are well! Jill

[@lfrias78]

We have grown them for the past three years and have loved them. I bought seeds one time and collect the seeds every year after that. Also let them reseed themselves as well. Our honeybees and the native bees all love these.

[@ntxg]

Hidy Lewis...YAY....its so great to be able to grow every year from your own harvest. Some do reseed! We will do marigolds next. Praying you are well. Jill

[@ElderandOakFarm]

The stuff you're pulling out of the bulbs without petals, i think are immature seeds, either that or the papery stuff that is in between the seeds. When theyre white they arent yet mature (in my experience anyways) i have a lot of the bulb peices, from where the birbs got to the seeds, and all that is left is the papery stuff thats in between the seeds... unless I'm just not seeing it clear enough in the video...

[@ntxg]

Hidy CC, thank you for the feedback gal! We will watch for this. Take care and Blessings, Jill

[@ElderandOakFarm]

@@ntxg Ive never planted them & tried, but Ive just always been told you have to get the ones dark in color...?

[@ntxg]

Ok CC...we can see what they do gal.

[@marybethjohnson3878]

@@ntxg I , too have even reading that mature seeds are DARK! the pale ones are immature. I am new to this so have been doing a LOT of reading and searching videos. since I can get so many DARK seeds from a flower (dried), I see no need to save anything but the best seeds. I live in the NE so have a shorter growing season. since we were expecting or first frost this week, I harvested a few really great flower heads and some that are I"iffy" and see how many are dark. I'd love to know from more experienced gardeners if I am on the right track ! sure miss Texas! I grew up in SAT! ,

[@MichelleBeahm]

I have picked the flowers with color on them so that I can attempt to sort by color.. I guess we will see

[@ntxg]

Yes Michelle! Keep me posted on how that does. Thank you for watching us!😀

[@buickinvicta288]

Thanks! I will do mine. How do you store them?

[@ntxg]

Hidy BI, In a bag, cool dark place, keep the dry. Thank you for watching, Jill

[@nancyzimmerman1982]

Those papery pieces are not the seeds. The seeds are oval and brown snd have to be sorted from all of the papery parts. Marigolds do have the kind of seeds where you just pull the petals but zinnias seeds are hidden in amongst them.

[@jessica11381]

Can I ask what kind of camera you're using)

[@ntxg]

Hidy TTM....my Iphone...we may get another one soon but it does pretty good. Praying you are well gal. Jill
