Collecting & Saving Seeds

October 24, 2018

Collecting and saving seeds from the plants you’re already growing is a sustainable approach to your gardening endeavors and a smart way to save money.

I use small sealable envelopes to collect and store my own dry seeds.

Dry seeds are easy to collect and store. Once you have harvested the seeds, leave them on a towel in a cool, dry place for a few days to ensure they are completely dry before you store them. Place them in a sealed container—such as an envelope, a paper seed packet, or a jar—and store in a cool, dry, dark place.
