In this Garden Home VLOG, host P. Allen Smith shows us some techniques on seed saving and show us a couple of ways to store them for years to come.
PLANTS (SEEDS) INCLUDE:
Rudbeckia maxima (Large Coneflower)
Centaurea americana (American Basketflower)
Purple Carrots
Echinacea purpurea (Purple Coneflower)
"Seed gathering is a fun gardening activity with a time-honored past. Before seed companies and nurseries made it more convenient to buy packets of seeds and flats of ready grown plants, farmers and gardeners relied on collecting and saving their own seeds for the following year’s crops. I recall my parents and grandparents collecting seeds from their flowers and vegetables, not only to be frugal but to make sure they had seeds for the varieties that they liked to grow." ~ P. Allen Smith

This is one of my favorite past times, I get to see life come back from something that died and start over every year.

Arthur Munoz yes and it is amazing to see how one little seed can turn into something so beautiful 😍

I bought echinacea plants this year for my new edible/medicinal/herb garden. I took a few heads that had gone by and tried to shake seeds out but they weren't dry yet. So I had them drying and when I saw how you just tugged the seeds out (I was waiting for them to fall out), I paused your video and went to pulling the seeds out - SO MANY seeds and I learned so much about them. I have them in a cute little glass jar waiting to plant (north florida) and thank you for this great video. I need to learn a lot more about saving seeds!

I saved coneflower seeds this year and I have so many so I definitely will be giving some away. Love saving seeds😍

@reneearmour8211 5 лет назад

I've collected seeds all my life. I can still remember walking behind my grandpop on his big fruit and vegetable farm in Connecticut. I would take the seeds from his big hand and listen to him tell me what kind of seed I was planting and everything that it would become in a few months... I love the feel of the dirt in my hands and the sun on my face as I work in my gardens.😍🌺. It helps keep me sane... Thank you for sharing your seed saving skills with everyone... It helps save our future generations as they learn about growing things to help feed both their bellies and their souls...😘💚👍💋

It's Oct 2021 right now, and I just watched this fascinating video on saving seeds since that's what I'm doing right now. My table is covered with all types of flower heads waiting for the harvest. Today I learned about the native basket flower you introduced us to, and alas.... now that I know about it's beauty and heritage--- I need to get some seeds for these lovely flowers. Do you sell them at Moss Mt Farm? Your videos are so helpful P Allen Smith. Thank you.

Monticello is definitely on my bucket list. I love saving seeds because it saves money 💴. I have been saving coneflowers, cowpeas and I will be saving zinnia seeds also. Thanks for sharing 😊

@dorothyandrews8872 5 лет назад

I found your channel recently and love the easygoing manner you present everything, I live in Canada zone 4 and cant grow some of the things you have. I have collected seed for years and even tried growing a dogwood from seed . Thanks for all your information. wish you lived up here to help out with what we can grow.

@tomsparks6099 5 лет назад

Thanks Allen. Nature IS generous. :) I've saved Cypress vine seed (hummingbird fave) and herb seeds for years (basil, fennel, dill) . I love walking the fields in late summer to collect botanical seeds. My Datura and Moonflower seeds this year didn't come back, though.

@carmenbailey8209 5 лет назад

Thanks Allen, now that I’m retired I have managed to save seeds, kept my three fern and my porch pots with Mandelvella alive and blooming persently for the second year. All this makes me feel very accomplished. 👍❤️😊

I save seeds as well. Also grow them for the birds and squirrels! My Grandma had a green thumb and she taught me to save seeds. Have done it all my life. You have so many beautiful plants that I would have a ball collecting seeds from your gardens. Thanks for all the tips. 🌻🌺

So tomorrow, weather permitting, I will be tromping thru my front gardens and kitchen garden bags and baskets in hand. Also picking blooms from plants to dry and perhaps do a fall arrangement for my front porch!🤞🏼. Then when it gets rainy or cold, I will be scanning for carrots to grow. You always inspire!

Perfect timing. I have a new patch of purple corn flowers and left to dry. I just noticed some birds eating from the spikey heads and was just wondering if it was time to collect the seeds. I'm new to cornflowers so I really didn't know. Thank you! I've collected for years french marigolds, zinnias, sunflowers, foxglove, black eye Susan's and morning glories. Gardens have many different generation of life. P. Allen Smith you have helped me so much over the years learning to grow, dry and collect my garden. Really great information thank you again!

@lisamartinez6899 3 года назад

Love this episode. Do you sell seed at your farm ? Or have class on drying flowers? Can flowers be sprayed with anything to save the color? I love the polish flower.

@69juamex 5 лет назад

Excellent video and information. Will you freeze only the seeds that one will use the following year or all of them? Would be nice to have different types of seeds to plant and find out which ones will survive in my area. I live in Roswell, New Mexico. Once again thank you for the video.

Thanks for this info! My Mom always saved seeds. However, her seed collection was lost after Mom's passing. I would really love if someone would tell me the names of the flowers at the end of this video . Mom had the two red ones and we never knew the names of them. One you called "rat tail" and the other something "Polish Spirit.." I didn 't get their names to buy the seeds. I assume these are on one of your sponsors collections. Thanks Allen again. I love everything in nature and seed saving/planting keeps it growing. Blessings!

@Tara-sf7uu 5 лет назад

I usually remember to label my jars, but I am SO bad to forget to mark my seeds when I plant them into a seed tray! I wish I could break myself from the habit. Maybe help someone...I go buy plastic sheets meant for holding cards or photos, and i put my seed packs in those which go in a binder. Keeps them neat

@auyannaplants 5 лет назад

Tara Bonee you are not alone. I am trying to do better at labeling just need to develop a system so that I get everything done at once and don’t have to go back

@Tara-sf7uu 5 лет назад

@@auyannaplants Thats exactly my issue, I forget to bring a label or get called away and assume I can go back later or will remember what I just planted..lol. Im sure my neighbors would say I spend more time standing in my garden scratching my head and wondering what Ive planted than anything else! Lol

Thank you Allen. Some people say "Keep in paper envelopes so they dry easier and germination rate becones higher." What do you think?

@karenparker2602 5 лет назад

Thank you for great advice on seed storing. Do you have to put the Ziploc bags in the freezer or can you just store them in a cool dry place for the winter?

@dakshinyamydc2894 5 лет назад

Thank you for the video. I was interested in finding out about cherry seeds.Can you save the seeds from the fruit that you are eating? Will they germinate if you plant them within 2 yrs? Thank you.

Do you only put the seeds in the ziplock bag in the freezer and not the seeds in the jars? Great video. Thanks.

@PAllenSmith 5 лет назад

+nappynew the bags just save room!

@ASH-kj9xt 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for doing this video! I have dedicated myself to saving seeds this year to start next year’s garden. Both veggie and flower seeds for me! This was very helpful, as I’ve wondered about where to store the seed. I have some in lidded jars and others in ziplock bags. I do have a question, though: Can you store any type of seed in the freezer? We are in south Louisiana and do not have a cellar or basement. If not, which types are ok for the freezer, and which ones would be fine on a shelf in an air conditioned closet? Thank you again, Allen! I have enjoyed all of your programs and your vlogs for many years! 💚🌸🌿

@PAllenSmith 5 лет назад

Thank you for watching! All seed should be safe in the freezer. Just try to avoid fluctuation in temps. So sometimes, I'll put mine towards the back, if it's a freezer I open frequently. Also make sure your container is sealed tight. Moisture/humidity in LA will be your enemy. Happy gardening and good luck!

@ajp11 5 лет назад

Is their a rule of thumb about length of time for drying out the seedheads or just harvest when the seeds feel dry? Is it best to hang the seedheads to dry?

@bonniejackson7476 5 лет назад

Hi This may be a silly question but I am in Central North Carolina where it is very warm. I don't have a cellar. Should I jar the seeds then put them in the refrigerator or just put them in my garden shed. It will be cool in there eventually just not right now. Thanks as always for your informative videos.

@PAllenSmith 5 лет назад

It would probably be ok in the shed just for one season. Long term (years) it may not work. If you go with the fridge, place them in marked zipper seal plastic bags and roll them up to give you more room. And I'd also place it in the back of the refrigerator. Good luck!

@timberhills1778 5 лет назад

Nice video

@alissaduensing1051 5 лет назад

Does it matter which seeds you put in the fridge? My winter is 4-5 months long do I take the seeds out of fridge then plant or do I have to wait for them to warm up? Thank you

@nataliespencer1324 4 года назад

@greenthumbelina7331 5 лет назад

Hi Allen, I'm curious if you've ever saved seed from lantana? Some years I can't find the color of lantana plants that I want in my planters and would like to save seeds. I understand that all parts of the lantana are poisonous and that saved seed won't necessarily be the same as the parent plant. Are there any varieties that will look the same or do I need to take cuttings from the plants I want to save? I save seeds from lots of different flowers and edibles and most of them I just store in jars in my unheated garage until it's time to plant. Thanks for your helpful tips, I love watching your videos.

@PAllenSmith 5 лет назад

Margie Schaecher you’d probably do better with cuttings inside to insure the color.
