It's time to save and store all the seeds I collected this spring. Plus, join me as I cut back my cover crops and prepare my beds for fall planting. I'll also prune my roses and perennial herbs now that temperatures are cooling down.

This was so interesting with understanding which seeds to harvest, which to keep and which not to. I also, didn't think about how important a constant temperature was, I keep mine in a cool room, but bring them out to a warmer room on occasion, sometimes for a day or two. I will be more careful now. Thanks for this!

Thank you for your detailed seed harvesting with tips throughout. When the seeds hadn't fully developed and you found last year's seeds - it's that detail and caring that entices me to view every video you share. I'm 9b. Tytytytytyty

Thank you! Cosmos has to be one of my favorite flowers to save seed's from. Also, any type of basil plants. I cut the entire plant to the ground once I have secured the plant in a large paper bag. Flip the plant over and shake the bag like crazy. The seeds will be in the bottom. What's left of the plant goes back on the ground once I've cut the seed pod's off. So simple. Thank you for encouraging me to try and save some new seed's.

Cosmos are so satisfying to harvest off the flower. Thanks for the basil tip!

I discovered an easy way to sort out lettuce seeds. I cut off the top of the stalks. Put them in a big paper grocery bag. Folded it up, and shook like crazy. A few seconds later, all the seeds were at the bottom. It was very fluffy, so do it outside.

I love the moment you discovered the hornets nest and reacted so calmly. I’ve been stung and it’s seriously painful. I understand that some have allergies… we do neeed to remember they are still pollinators and have their place in our food chain. Love you stuff! I was in Phoenix for forever. Now I’m doing my gardening in Tucson. A little different but your information is great!

Your seed saving tips were super helpful and detailed. Thank you! I’m saving seeds from my garden to share at my neighbor’s Little Free Garden (like the Little Free Libraries but this is for garden-related things to share). For some, I didn’t know what the seeds looked like until you showed it in the video! Thanks and I’ll be sure to subscribe to learn more! 🌱💚

Hi - we don’t get hard enough freezes here to warrant that. Check the garden in minutes website - they may have more information about what to do in cold climates to prevent damage.

What do/did you do with the hornets’ nest that you found in your sage? I’ve never seen that before-I would’ve freaked out!!

I usually remove them if they are in a high traffic area of the garden. I'll spray them first with this: amzn.to/40p2ewT

The humidity (or lack of) both present challenges for sure.

So to save your seeds you brown bag them first then mason jar? Also any method to your madness when you started trimming your roses? You are such a wealth of info, just wished we were in the same zone. (SW Oklahoma 7 )

@GrowingInTheGarden 10 ай бұрын

Yes, usually paper bag first and then mason jars or paper envelopes. In the fall I give the roses a light trim all over, cutting off any crossing or damaged branches and cutting back most branches by about 1/3 above 5 sets of leaves. Thanks for watching!

Do you fold the paper bag and for how long leave in bag till drying before saving.?

No, I don't fold the bag. It depends on the crop, but I usually leave it in for a couple months.
