Four Plants = Thousands of Seeds

seedsaving

It's not enough to know how to garden. You also should learn how to save seeds.

These are the collard seeds from four plants that bolted due to the heat.
I need to blow out the debris, but as you can see, there are thousands and thousands of seeds here. I collected these at the end of spring after the plants dried out. I will be sowing many of them at the beginning of August for my fall garden.

When and how to collect them, how to prepare them, and how to store them are all skills that can save you a small fortune.

I can't keep it all in my head and don't like relying on the internet, so I have this book as a handy and helpful resource.
