Has anyone done seed saving? I've saved seeds from like marigolds when I was young, but I would like to try to save a bunch this year. I heard you can save hostas seeds. :toothy:

I have some California poppy seeds and birdhouse gourd seeds and some marigold and I would like to get some seeds from all of the wild Queen Ann's Lace that grows everywhere here....

I've too have done the marigold seed saving years ago but want to start saving other seeds too. I know Carolyn and a few others have had good luck doing this...tips ladies?.

Sara,
I was working in the yard yesterday and thinking about seed saving, we must have been on the same wavelength. I hope to have snapdragon seeds to save this year other than that, most of what I have is bulbs. I did find our old sunflower seeds from several years ago this weekend and am going to try and plant them even though they are a bit old. Maybe we can eventually have a seed swop.

I have lots of seeds from last year. Morning glories, some kind of flower that grows in Korea, and marigolds and four o'clocks. I haven't planted any yet though. Last year my neighbor told me to just pull the seeds off the plants and save them in a dry place in envelopes. Maybe tomorrow I will try to plant a few and see if they come up.

I used to save all my seeds a few years back. I'd like to to start again, when the season ends.

I saved some peony seeds, but that's all so far this year.
For those saving seeds, what are you storing them in and where? I was thinking maybe in a glass jar, but then thought that might be a bad thing. Maybe just toss them in an envelope and in a drawer.

I traded for a bunch of saved seeds. I'm excited to see what grows next spring.

I should plant some hostas, i have heard they grow like mad. Not much has come up this year at my house for seed saving. I have some morning glories sprouting right now. I hope so bad that they flower and seed, id like to save some seeds for next year. I would love to swap too if i do have seeds that I can save.
