So would this also count double for the seed saving bb in gardening?

I have been collecting seed from wildflowers and meadow species this year. I also save seed from trees and shrubs which I am planting to stock future hedgerows.

For this BB I have included the following species:

Burnet rose (Rosa pimpinellifolia), a low-growing rose with edible rosehips and a valuable foodstuff for birds
Dog rose (Rosa canina), our wild rose with edible blossoms and hips
Hazel (Corylus avellana), useful for hedging, coppicewood and nutella!
Welsh poppies (Papaver cambricum), beautiful, pollinator-friendly native wildflowers
Hawksbeard (Crepis), a pollinator-friendly plant
Tufted vetch (Vicia cracca), a nitrogen-fixing, rambling meadow flower
Wild cherry (Prunus avium), edible, suitable as a hedge plant and good for birds

I've submitted 7 species as not all of them are shown with a teaspoon. I hope it's obvious that the center of my palm is larger than a teaspoon!

Very sorry about the above two submissions! I got too clever by using an automatic collaging tool to combine the pics of the plants with the pics of the seeds. So I've included the whole picture of the bag of seeds that was used for those. I can take other pics with an actual half-teaspoon you need that for any of the varieties. (I didn't measure that closely, I just harvested what I could find that was over that volume.)

(argh  I forgot I couldn't switch memory cards in the middle..  starting this long post over again...  doh)

First I went to a large untended meadow to collect some plant seeds that will diversify my hard at home and add more rabbit forage to my yard.  

Narrow leaf plantain,  red clover, and curly dock.

Then I explored some shrubby/scrub area behind some residential houses and collected wild native milkweed seeds.  Milkweed flower buds are delicious and look like broccoli.

Lastly, on a hike next to the river I found several kinds of oak trees growing with evergreens.   I collected both red and white acorns to try processing into "coffee" although the squirrels do NOT leave many of the small red ones intact!!  

To document your completion of the BB, provide the following:
- clear image of the wild species
- provide the name of the wild species being harvested
- at least 1/2 teaspoon of seeds harvested from each wild species

My six species:

Narrow leaf plantain
Curly dock
Red clover
Native milkweed
Red oak

Sorry for wasting whomever's time on that last one. I just scraped up all the seeds and mush from the wet paper towel where I'm stratifying the thimbleberry and it just barely made 1/2 tsp and it wasn't all seeds, so I guess you're right. The TBL does make more than 1/2 t with the fluff that's in there, but maybe not if I removed it all carefully -- not sure what the protocol is on bits of chaff. And I could rinse the vermiculite away from the ROD seeds and have way more than 1/2 t, but no point since the thimbleberry was the weakest link.

It appears that I can do this BB multiple times? I have 6 new species!
The buckwheat was found near houses in a wildlife-urban-interface. Now that I think about it, I reckon that the buckwheat volunteered from a neighboring house so perhaps that isn’t wild? I’ve harvested wild California buckwheat from a natural preserve that I can swap in instead.

Hey Jeremy, I see what you're saying about the kinnikinnick photo. I didn't think to ensure that the berries were in the photo based on "clear image of the wild species" - I suppose it's because I would need the leaves to identify the species, I wouldn't be able to identify it based on the berries.

I harvested a bunch of kinnikinnick to restock and while it was drying I picked off the berries - collecting the berries for this BB was, admittedly, an after thought. I have a different photo of kinnikinnick from that day that I harvested kinnikinnick where there's a berry in the bottom left of the photo. This has caused me to rethink how I'm documenting this BB so I'll try another approach in the future!

I went camping and found so many new plants to collect seeds from! My favorite find was the black hawthorn tree! Hopefully this approach to documentation works better.

The species I found, in picture-order, are:
Black hawthorn
Blue grama
Currants
Pinyon pine
Spider flower
Winterfat

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
      o Save seeds from 6 species of wild plants
      o At least one half teaspoon of each

To document your completion of the BB, provide the following:
 - clear image of the wild species
 - provide the name of the wild species being harvested
 - at least 1/2 teaspoon of seeds harvested from each wild species

I'm resubmitting this BB since my kinnikinnick photo caused it to be an edge case. I recently went hiking and found a new handful of kinnikinnick AND made sure to capture seeds still on the plant in the background.

I foraged:
1-acorns
2-houndstongue
3-kinnikinnick/uvi ursi
4-plum
5-rose hips
6-three leaf sumac
6-species_take-1.jpg
