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.
That's a great idea!
@@GrowingInTheGarden can I save seeds from Armenian cucumbers? Am growing zucchini and acorn squash also.
That's genius!
Effing genius!!!
Love this!
How refreshing to hear someone who speaks in full sentences, without crutch words such as ‘like’, ‘you know’, and ‘you guys’. Thank you, Ma’am; you are a delight!
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
You're welcome. Saving seeds is very rewarding, best of luck to you!
A year later, I hopr you are feeling better. HOw's the garden this year?
Hey I am almost 70 but dont even bother with cherry tomatoes
I got maybe 12 from 1 plant on a deck
Maybe you could give me names of certain types ?
You are right. Gardening is a goldmine and a therapy. I save seeds also from difficult sorts. And year after year your knowledge is also growing. I wisch you a happy life and succes and fulfilling gardenyears
I’m sure saving seeds was the norm back in the day. Such a good practice we moved away from. Sharing with friends and checking some out at the library.....love it!
So true!
Remembering the ancestors
@@GrowingInTheGarden i am so happy for you that you prefer heirloom seeds.
i am like you i started gardening in my 20s my first flower was a zinnia!! i am 63 now and still going strong, love your video, how informative!
>
That's very charming!
What particular plants or seeds do you like to grow or save? What about zinnias?
I wished everyone would make their videos like you did you didn't talk about everything just straight to the point
I love my local seed library! We even do some events through out the year to swap seeds, bulbs, ect. Such a great resource.
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..
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.
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!
One of the best videos I've seen on this topic! Great information!!! I'm saving this for reference. Greetings from Michigan! 😊🌷💐
Glad it was helpful! Hello from Arizona.
I somehow didn't notice until now that you're in Mesa- I'm in Mesa! I'll have to recommend this channel, in particular, to my sister-in-law. She grew up mostly in Alabama and despairs of being able to grow a lush garden out here in the desert. They just bought their first house and she's basically terraforming their backyard, so I'm sure she'll appreciate the referral! :D
Thanks so much!
Thanks Angela. Your video is jam-packed with good information, with an easy to comprehend presentation. You're a great example of how to craft a video that is time efficient and very helpful. Would that others learn how to do the same. Spring is only four months away. Yay!!!
Thanks so much!
Spring is only 4 months away, love your positivity. Cheered me up no end.
Harvested my first seeds this year! Marigolds, calendula, batchelor’s buttons and cosmos. Excited to spread the wealth. 🌸
Wonderful!
I've been seed saving for a while so I'm not a beginner but always wanting to learn more and this was the best video I've ever seen it was clear the pictures where great and it was very inclusive thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Thank you, very informative...will certainly help me in my seed saving...I have had poor luck with 'wet' seeds...tomatoes and cucumbers...this will help me immensely....again, Thank You....have wonderful weekend...Peace
Hi look up Doug and Stacey growing tomato from seeds like the Amish... it is fantastic and so easy. Cheers.
Perfect time of year to start thinking about harvesting seeds for next year!
Awesome information Angela! I never thought about the paper wicking the moisture out. I just harvested my marigold seeds last week and the only bag I had was paper. Its rare I make a good move like that on accident, haha. I just checked on the seeds and they're completely dry and smell sweet.
Amazing! Your short video taught me everything I know to get started saving seeds-thank you for this information!
Glad it was helpful!
So lucky this was one of the first and best videos I came across!! I have been wandering through the woods locally here in my mountain town looking at all the native wildflower varieties wondering how to save some seeds. I'll have to wait till the dry on the plant is seems! Thank you again for the concise information.
This video was SO helpful!! Best video on gardening I’ve seen!
So nice of you, thanks.
Incredibly helpful video. Thank you sooooo much!
THANKS FOR SHARING THIS GOOD INFORMATION!!!😊👍🏽 I'VE BEEN SAVING SEEDS FOR OVER 10 YEARS NOW AND NOW I'VE GAINED MORE INFORMATION ON IT!!!😃👍🏽🙋🏽♀️🔥🙏🏽👑✝️📖🔥
Thank you for this video. I learned so much, probably more from this video than the dozen on seed saving I've watched before it. it's informative, comprehensive without being overly complicated or diluted with too uch extraneous info, yet still engaging enough to keep my attention.
So nice of you, thanks.
I loved seeing the photos of each of these, because sometimes you're just not quite sure if the seeds are ready on the wildflowers!
Glad it was helpful!
I enjoyed your seed saving tips and I've been really enjoying saving seeds 🤩 Thanks for sharing!
I started saving my seeds, last year. So fun and rewarding! Always enjoy watching your videos!
Wonderful!
Excellent video, thank you! ~ Lisa
Thanks for all your super helpful info, I’m a subscriber:)
Great info. Thank you!
Great information! Thanks so much
This is the first year we’ll be saving seeds from our garden. Thanks for all the tips! Lol! What a combination: Armenian cukes and cantaloupe! Ick!
Right?!?
After watching video, I know to get rid of the seeds from my sugar baby watermelon, because the were all bunched with my cucumbers, cantaloupes, honey dew melons, and tigger melons. I don't know what I would have had. They were all flowering at the same time and some vining on top of each other ...out of control. ..lol
I just might plant one on the other side of house just to see what comes up...lol
Thank you...GREAT INFO on saving seeds! I am a novice gardener.
Again, thank you!
Excellent demonstration and video. You are a wealth of knowledge, Angela. Thank you!
I saved these every year that is how I feel up my planters and my garden and my flowerbeds and they always look beautiful what are you pill bottle I like your idea of using a canning jar I will try that this year thank you so much for sharing
This was the coolest video. Thank you for sharing!
I love saving seeds .
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!!
I'm so glad the video and gardening have been helpful. Keep it up!
This is so true. I also got hooked on marigold seeds. I think about all of the ‘seed opportunities’ that I missed all those years in the past! I’m just glad I know better now. 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!
Wonderful. Best of luck to you!
Me too! That flower was given to me and I was hooked.
Great video , I’m taking it all in
Thanks for sharing
Just wanted to say Thank you for your help.
Very detailed tutorial. thank you
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences.❤
Just left a video how-(not?)-to that showed seed saving from cut flowers in a vase. That just goes against every instinct I had about this. Dried on the stem and just before they explode seems more intuitive... Enjoyed your presentation and some of the comments were helpful too!
I really appreciate your clear and informative videos! Your love for gardening comes through your smile! 🌹🌿🥰
Thank you so much!
It took me awhile to understand that seed saving can only be done by heirloom. One day a friend explained what GMO meant... happy seed saving everybody. Iceberg lettuce $8 a head here at the moment
😥 thanks Sonny Perdue & Whilehmina Gates... Decimation
@@kimgordon3695 yes, very true💩
Lettuce for $8? 😱 Where do you live? That is INSANE!
>
I just had breakfast on a big green salad made from the leaf lettuce in my garden. I go out and tear off whatever lettuce I want and the RUN back in to make the salad!
Well, I don't actually run, but you get the idea. Fresh!
Thank you so much for all this information. I love to save seeds.
Great overview and introduction! There is true Freedom in having this skill to ensure future abundance for generations.
Thanks Angela I enjoy your video. Thanks for sharing.
This is the first video I’ve watched of yours! I love your style and passion!
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you! This video was very informative and clear
This was such a fantastic lesson! You explain things so well 😊 Thankyou from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Wonderful advice
Angela, I love you without knowing you. Thx for your efforts, thoughts and love for gardening. 😍🥰😘
So nice of you, thanks.
One of the best video. I learned and understood a lot from this video. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for these great seed saving tips!
Great instructions for seed saving
This video was everything!! Thank you so much from Perú 🙌💚
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you this was very helpful!
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.
You are right! It all depends on what your goals are. Good point.
Very helpful. Tks for hitting on all kinds of plants and veggies
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you verry much. So clear.
Thank you for this.
Thank you Angela. Love your videos.
You are so welcome!
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!
Thanks! Awesome. Informative. 👍
I do this for my neighbors....I put the seeds in plastic zip lock bags with a label. They love it!
THANKS FOR THE GREAT INFORMATION MANY BLESSINGS
So very helpful!!!! Thank you 🙏🏼
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing this video it's really helpful
THANK YOU ANGELA FOR THE LECTURE. VERY IMPORTANT TO LEARN AND TO SAVE. SELF POLINATING.. HAPPY GROWING
Glad it was helpful!
WONDERFULLY HELPFUL, THANK YOU! Are there seeds that need to spend time in the freezer to mimic having been outside for the winter??
Yes. Check the seed packet - it should tell you. If you saved the seeds look online to see if it requires vernalization.
@@GrowingInTheGarden Oh that's an excellent word - vernalization. Like the vernal equinox. Thank you!
@@freakinfrugal5268
Helpfull video, with lots of good information. Thank you.

Great and informative video, thank you for sharing.

I discovered this year that an early bush scallop squash that cross-pollinated with a black beauty zucchini is not that bad, just weird looking.
Great video and information
