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
So neat to see you on the Epic Gardening site! Perfect to have different great gardeners work together! AND since I live in Mesa AZ I especially appreciate this collaboration
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.
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!
Thanks for all of the great info about saving seeds! I've found that saving seeds has been the best way to get my kiddo interested in the garden. Like you, she fell in love with marigolds and has been very excited to save her own seeds this year ❤
Thank you, I like your easy style of saving the seeds in the paper bags. Marigold seeds were my first seeds I saved. They also got me hooked on saving seeds, too!
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! 🌱💚
Love your videos & all the teaching material you provide. Your food reminds me of another great gardener on Sweet Tomato Vine Homestead channel you ladies both have great videos.
As always you gave lots of great information in a short amount of time- love watching your videos! I am in zone 3b northern NY, and still pick up lots of great tips!
Great question! I just peeked under the mulch to check on the crops and they are breaking down well and there are a lot of worms too. Happy soil for sure!
Hi sure. I get the hand-watering wand at Home Depot. www.homedepot.com/p/Orbit-33-in-Shower-Wand-with-Shut-Off-Antique-Black-27841/300210156 and I use the garden grids from Garden in Minutes in all of my raised beds. Use code Angela10 to save.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1897453&u=2736599&m=118440&urllink=&afftrack=
Hello Angela! Thank you for sharing this valuable info. I have lots of large radish seeds that I would like to share with you, should I just drop it in your PObox? 🤗
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.
Even thought we are the same zone, i feel like its so much more humid here in Florida. I wonder if i will have the same results (give or take) in my garden
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 )
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!
Tempe AZ here! I am growing basil in a container currently, but am noticing that it's starting to be attacked by a couple of small Ggreen caterpillars. What would you suggest st this point? I moved it inside for right now 🤷♀️

Cosmos are so satisfying to harvest off the flower. Thanks for the basil tip!
Loved watching your process with each plant. I'm in 6b but zone is a non-issue--you offer so much that is helpul in this video. Thanks!
This was so informative! Thank you! I’m going to try saving cilantro seeds.

Definitely needed this video as a beginner gardener! Thank you! 🙏🏻💕✨
Hello from Zone 10 Angela!🐶🐕😍
Love the idea of saving the dry flowers in paper bags first. You've motivated me to try this. Thank you. Love your videos.

This is a great video! Thank you Angela. Really good tips for recognizing strong seeds that are worth saving.
Yes Thanks to you I saved some of my seeds. My favorite tomato’s and fruit. I’m also working on my first video. Thanks for posting. All my best.
Feel free to drop by my RUclips page. I just dropped my first trailer tour of my garden. Have a great day,
Great info! Thanks! Happy gardening!!😊
Very helpful video! Thank you. Also, this was very timely as I have been buying seeds frequently. It is incredibly expensive. Have a good day!

Thank you so much for this video! It was so beautiful and informative. I learned a ton!🍅
I was just wondering if the worms eat some of the cover crops?
Great question! I just peeked under the mulch to check on the crops and they are breaking down well and there are a lot of worms too. Happy soil for sure!
Can you share the hand-watering wand you use and the square-foot thing you use, thanks

Such great information
Great video!
Thank you
Hello Angela! Thank you for sharing this valuable info. I have lots of large radish seeds that I would like to share with you, should I just drop it in your PObox? 🤗
So kind of you. Yes, that would be great, thank you!
Angela, do you have to blow out your water system as fall starts and a freeze comes?
Also, I just love your seed saving video! Learned so much🤗🤩
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.
How do you make your compost inwas impressed how fluffy it is.
Here's a video about how I make it: ruclips.net/video/fLbcPutwuiE/видео.html
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
Even thought we are the same zone, i feel like its so much more humid here in Florida. I wonder if i will have the same results (give or take) in my garden
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 )
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.
Tempe AZ here! I am growing basil in a container currently, but am noticing that it's starting to be attacked by a couple of small Ggreen caterpillars. What would you suggest st this point? I moved it inside for right now 🤷♀️
Bt may help: amzn.to/3tcIOP3
Hello! Does anyone know the name of that tool Angela used to harvest the chamomile?
Berry picker. This is the one I use amzn.to/46QSbDc - there are other less expensive ones as well if you search for berry picker.
@@GrowingInTheGarden thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️
Can you tell me about anise seeds
Very similar to cilantro or parsley - let the seeds develop on the plant and then dry in a paper sack.
💚👍
Thyme > sage
I agree! Thyme is my favorite!
