Hello, SKip team!
For this bb, I saved 4 seeds in glass baby food jars. I will keep them in my greenhouse for the winter, in my seed library.
The kale seed pods, I pulled off the plant and filled a bucket with them, then I stomped on them. Then saved the seeds at the bottom of the bucket.
The lovage seeds just pulled easily off the stalk.
The pea pods, I split with my thumbs and saved each pea.
The green onions I rubbed off the flowers and sieved, saving the little black specs.

I love saving seeds!
I have fond memories of my grandmother harvesting beans and magnolia seeds.
She kept hers in old milk jugs, I guess the magnolia pod doesnโ€™t fall far from the tree.

Iโ€™m storing mine in sour cream and yogurt containers, as well as film canisters (and several other packets, jars, etc. not pictured)

Seeds saved:
Tomatoes
Dandelion
Plantain
Mustard
Radish
Beans

Those cherries would go best on cherry cheesecake. Don't put those cherries on this tiny ad:
