My grandma taught me to keep seeds in old prescription bottles. They're designed to keep out light and moisture! I wrap the store bought seed packets around the bottle to keep the planting instructions.

I'm a newby at saving seeds, since i've been off work with severe depression i've took to sorting out my garden, its such a therapy to me, in the past week ive learnt about saving seeds for next year, i've already saved some poppy seeds, but i've deadheaded some plants and binned them where i didn't realise i could have saved the seeds until now.. i will now be leaving them until i can save some seeds...Thank you :) x

Thats so lovely, i think my own daughter became hooked on gardening too via the beauty of the marigolds, their many seeds and how they regenerated, their many strengths, and vivid colours. She decided to scatter the seeds around just to see the magic of flowers popping up in random places around our garden, and enjoyed excitement of knowing it got there from the seeds she had sprinkled there before. Since then gardening is one of her favorite things to do.

Yellow/Gold Marigold was the first seed I saved as well! I have never paid for flower seeds or seedlings since! :) Since then I have saved: marketmore cucumbers, various tomatoes, okra, tokyo long scallions, green beans, chiles, etc..

I bought a packet of seeds for leaf lettuce 15 years or so ago for a dollar or so. I just had breakfast on the distant offspring of those lettuce seeds this morning! It's really satisfying to see how much seed you can save. I have an issue with my lettuce plants bolting, so I plant additional seeds every few weeks. Of course, the bolting plants produce a lot more seed!

This is the BEST video on seed saving I've found! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge with so many others. Clear explanations and close up pictures of the seeds, very informative. I got in a car accident 3 years ago and before then I was very active. I was an avid hiker, very adventurous and thrill seeking, I never stopped going. For the first year I was bed bound and very depressed, for the second year, I tried walking a bit but it wasn't the same, and now I'm a homebody, doing my art and totally obsessed with my garden and indoor plants. I've been saving seeds since last year, I use a drying rack, and the paper bag method. My problem has been identifying what exactly the seeds are on some plants, and when I try to look it up, it's impossible to find! The pictures are either too blurry, or too small, or not clear as to what part is the seed. So thank you, thank you, thank you, for being so thoughtful!!

Saving promiscuously pollinated seeds isn't a bad thing!! Its exciting! it allows the plants to adapt to their environment and you get to pick the best ones. Of course you should not allow cross pollination to maintain open pollinated varieties but dont forget that cross pollination is how we got our heirlooms and even species hybrid crops like oats, barley, peanuts, peas, rutabagas, the vast majority of citrus fruits, etc in the first place.

I am six days past my two year mark. On July 11, 2021 I stuck the bases of some Green Onions and Romaine Lettuce from the store into the worst dirt on earth. Ok, not that bad, but I am in the Sonoran Desert, and in a city to boot. Bad soil is truly the rule. Well, my ground is covered with mulch and woodchips (you do what you can with what you have, right?), and is growing a lot of cool things. I am turning my whole place (about 30' by 120' with a house and a back house taking up space) into a food forest! And, it is going wonderfully! This spring I am going to be planting Heirloom seeds of many things (one of each kind) to do some serious seed saving! It is time!

Like you, I just couldn’t believe how many seeds came from my own plants. It’s like I can’t stop now and I have so many other seeds now since starting my garden last year. Oh, and I also had a ‘Frankenmelon’ when I grew two different melons next to each other. So many things to learn and I love gardening more than I ever thought I would. Thanks for this great video!
