just found your channel from growing potatoes in pots! now i'm subscribed your passion and peace radiates and i'll be happy to learn new things about gardening and preserving wild life! hugs from bulgaria ;)
This was such a beautiful, calming helpful video. I really enjoyed how you showed saving seeds from an assortment of different plants. Also, I would love a shed tour! It looks so cozy, like something out of a fairy tale.
aw im so glad i came across this channel !!! so therapeutic, iv been binge watching for hours ..this video is one of my favs. very informative and super cute as always .
I had a volunteer Cherokee Purple tomato that I let grow. It was in a convenient spot. The tomatoes were some of the largest and tastiest that I grew this year. I've saved the seeds to see if I get the same results.
Last summer we bought some cherry plum tomatoes from of all places, LIDL. I had placed them in a dish on the counter and we ate them en mass, as we do tomatoes. We loved them so much I decided to take chance and save the seed. I assumed they would be an F1 and they wouldn't come true.............. Turns out they did and they produced so many cherry plums this year. I have, of course, saved plenty of seeds this season for next year, they are the sweetest tomatoes I have ever tasted and didn't get so any blight at all. I actually still have tomatoes on vines right now. Win Win!!
Thank you so much. I've learned something new. I'm grateful you did a segment on calendula. Within the past 5 yrs I have had to learn a new way of gardening due to a move to a different climate. Honestly due to the pandemic I was able to finally grow a decent garden in 2021. ( Yeah!) I really missed it in my soul.. Back home I let the calendula go to dry, brown seeds in the garden. Here I'm not so lucky. I never knew as long as the seeds were formed I could dry it. Duh! Thank you! Sending much love from across the pond x
Perfect timing this is my first comment to your show thank you so much for helping me enjoy my garden I send you and all blessings of happiness and joy to be with and around you always🙂💡🙏🌎🌞🌚✨💦❤️
Blowing chaff from seed is called winnowing. Another useful method is to use various sieves and colanders. Depending upon the size of the holes, the seeds and the debris either the seeds or the debris are retained.
This was a fantastic video, I have been saving seeds for years and I really enjoyed seeing different plants that I never grew, and what the seeds look like🌱🌸🌼
Great video, yes I’ve started seed too. I seem to remember gardeners were struggling to buy seeds this year another reason to save from this years veg and flowers x
Courgette, cucumber and pumpkin all in one plant! That sounds so fancy! I might actually try that XD I'm trying to grow a dual-purpose courgette-pumpkin hybrid that can be cut early as courgettes or left to mature to pumpkins, wish me luck!
I'm new and seen your trays and baskets for saving seeds or drying I do this and paper bags with a few in there shaking and looking everyday.....nice to meet you
So far I have saved: poppy, love in a mist, chive, babies breath, marigold, balloon flower, dill, cilantro with more to come. You have inspired me to try calendula next year.....already purchased the seeds 😃
I save radish seeds, I grow them for the pods and then I leave a few bigger ones to ripen and harvest the seeds when the pod is dry. I used to harvest Calendula seeds as well but they are so great at self seeding that I no longer do that.
Thank you. Just harvested lots of my herbs, poppies and love in the mist but wasn’t sure I was saving them correctly. Your vlog really helped. Off to find more to harvest!
Sweet the first jung ladey I have seen with dirty finger nails👍 I have tomato seeds in the deep frezer that are 35 years old and this year 95% grow althow I always have fresh seeds every year these tomatos are very specal
@@mymirror3867 the seed get dryed as,as normal when saveing seeds the seeds then go in a air tight jar and up in the frezer. To plant just let them warm up 24hr and plant
Alotments are cheap you can get a discount half price if you know anyone over 65, you can half plots or full plots, but go for a full plot without any ivy. anything with ivy don't have it. but find a good one. some are smaller, others are bigger. and be sure there are decent people as most alotments are open not closed like this one. lucky girl. I have one in Birmingham. it will take time to set up. it will come in times my se. FOLLOW YOUR OWN VISION AND DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, AND YOU'LL BE HAPPY DOING IT. Some people don't agree with my stuff but its my allotment and I do the way im happy ;)
Racbir Singh I absolutely LOVE this!! Ive got and allotment now, got it in November! It brings me so much joy! It’s only a small plot! But anything will do for me! Yeah everyone has there own ideas! Which what makes it great 😍 I’m on Instagram- allotment-by-the-fell!
Wonderful demo! Thank you! I am saving seeds from Lantana, marigolds, rudebeckia, impatiens, and ageretum, and purple beans. I will be growing Calendula next year, just bought the seed! 🌸😀🌱
This is the best year for my tomatoes at my communitygarden.It is called Floyd Bennett Field Gardens Association in Brooklyn,NY.It was NY very first airport.Iam saving tomato seeds from all the tomatoes that made it to 1lb or more.I have some that look like 2 to 3 lbs maybe.They are huge.If you want I can send you some.I grow all colors.The 3 MONSTER tomatoes are Green Giant, Great White and Italian Sweet.That is the Italian Flag.
Amish Paste is one of my favorites also, I started saving seed from them last year. I use the fermenting process though. This year I'm going to work on saving seed from a number of vegetables, have you ever saved anything like sweet corn?
Hi Katrina! I have just received my allotment with two large polytunnels, and I found your channel! I am in Scotland and I believe that's not much differences in temp than Nottingham? Perhaps similar vegetables and flowers should grow. It is so much work to be done, I stared from zero, om gosh ,cleaning the polytunnels was a thing! I am starting just to do some seedlings, not much, as I don't have any but thank you so much for the tip! Is it worth to do any social media thing like youtube channel and instagram? Perhaps someone would like to see my hell lots of struggling! haha Best wishes from Edinburgh! Kat x
I've been doing this very thing over the last few weeks... I am very curious as to how you make the jewelry with seed pods. My favorite seed pods are large Poppies and Nigella. and just about any size of Allium. Wild Thistle dry beautifully for making wreaths and arrangements.
GREAT video! So informative! We had a crazy summer here in Florida this year, so right now the only seeds that I have been saving are my Zipper Pea seeds. Planning on putting in a fall garden soon as we have a long growing season here in Florida! Looking foward to seeing your next video! Have a GREAT weekend!
what a wonderful video!!! so inspiring, thank u! a bit of clarification if you get a chance, so you cancut flower heads off when they are still fresh and green like the calendula seed heads and then wait and they will dry out on their own? Or do you sometimes have to keep them on the plant until they become dry and brown, like I think you said about the lupine? Is it just different for different flowers? Thank u so much!
My first year so I am playing around with it but -- wild bull thistle, bachelor buttons, calendula, nasturtiums, sunflower, pumpkin despite the potential issues, borage scarlet runner beans, sugar snap peas..
Do you know what CDO is? It's OCD in alphabetical order! I'm CDO with my seed saving...I've been a faithful audience member from the beginning and I think this is my favourite episode so far because I'm a seed freak too!!Cardiospermum, Ricinus, Mirabilis...they are all fascinating to look at! I carry a 10/20/30 hand lens with me all the time...my car has a supply of McDonald's bags for on the spot harvesting but I store everything in coin envelopes. And I save every packet of cilica I can get my hands on to help control the humidity in the camping cooler I store the envelopes in...if there is help for this disorder I'm not sure I want it!
when i find plant that interests-be it fruit or flower- saving that particular cultivar only makes sense , cause might not be able to find next season or ever again ! & have always saved paperbags for this purpose , lol !
homegrown.garden probably because they self pollinate and you grow them indoors with a relative lack of insects. Real seeds do claim you have to do it though. Bet nobody does.
I'm saving as many garlic chive seeds as possible. The deer don't touch them so they will be sown all around the plants that the deer love. Keeping my fingers crossed.
be aware of mice. They're specially fond of fresh seeds. Best to put the seeds in closed (plastic) boxes to prevent mice picking around in your seedstock.
You mention crosspollination on squash and using thise seeds etc....tasting bad too.....also can prove poisonous to some and has been known to be fatal.
Ty
I like your voice, very soothing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & your flowers.
Finally found my best sleeping asmr!

Also, I would love a shed tour! It looks so cozy, like something out of a fairy tale.
I always enjoy watching you in your garden. It's so relaxing. Thank you!

Love hearing the different terms for items within the same language. Our pruning shears are your sectors.
You wouldn’t believe the range of words around the world for what I call wellies!
@@homegrowngarden I can imagine. I don't have a name for mine. I just call them rubber boots.
Madagascar bean is my favourite seed. So unctuous and prolific.
Thanks for the video and info. Have a great day.

I take seeds from cherry tomato and french beens. Love your vids! Greetz from the Netherlands
My only dream is to have my own allotment, someday hopefully! And to know as much about gardening as you! Lovely videos

Wow, great video and tips! Greetz from Holland!
Great to see you again.
I save the seeds I can. So far that's been squash, tomato, carrot, turnip, California poppy,
Amish Paste is one of my favorites also, I started saving seed from them last year. I use the fermenting process though. This year I'm going to work on saving seed from a number of vegetables, have you ever saved anything like sweet corn?

Excellent video. I’ve learned a lot about seed saving. Love your channel.
thanks for this,i love growing from seeds..do you bansai trees? i live dronfield woodhouse in zone 8b
Thank you so much for the sharing it’s so lovely 😊
Interesting, thanks. You seem to be very well organized.
I've been doing this very thing over the last few weeks... I am very curious as to how you make the jewelry with seed pods. My favorite seed pods are large Poppies and Nigella. and just about any size of Allium. Wild Thistle dry beautifully for making wreaths and arrangements.
Beetroot seeds are my favourite so far, they are a really interesting shape!
I love them too! They look like little asteroids ☄️ 😄
Loving the dried seeds .this I must try next year ! Can't wait lol
GREAT video! So informative! We had a crazy summer here in Florida this year, so right now the only seeds that I have been saving are my Zipper Pea seeds.

Not many of these ladies about, so interesting.
what a wonderful video!!! so inspiring, thank u! a bit of clarification if you get a chance, so you cancut flower heads off when they are still fresh and green like the calendula seed heads and then wait and they will dry out on their own? Or do you sometimes have to keep them on the plant until they become dry and brown, like I think you said about the lupine? Is it just different for different flowers? Thank u so much!
I would love to see how you use your dried flowers.
This was a timely video, thank you! What are those hanging at the end, the big ball of seed pods...?
I ended up making a poppy head bauble-like decoration with the larger seed poppy heads. It will live inside the shed once I get a hook for it! ☺️
This is helpful, I was wondering if you had to the let the flower dry on the plant to save the seeds, just have to wait for the bloom to die back!
My first year so I am playing around with it but -- wild bull thistle, bachelor buttons, calendula, nasturtiums, sunflower, pumpkin despite the potential issues, borage scarlet runner beans, sugar snap peas..

Can you collect basil seed?
When you harvest herbs do you wash them before you dry them?
I want to see your poppy garden. You certainly have a green thumb.
?
What’s the name of the shallots you have hanging in your shed please .
I saved tomato seeds using a method I read on realseeds, I'd say it worked excellent but I guess I can't be sure yet... Easy process though.
when i find plant that interests-be it fruit or flower- saving that particular cultivar only makes sense , cause might not be able to find next season or ever again !
& have always saved paperbags for this purpose , lol !
According to realseeds.co.uk chillis and peppers cross easily too.
Ahh. I’ve never had any problems myself but good to know!

All thanks to Dr emuakhe for CURING from polycystic kidney deases am forever grateful sir..
Hi
You mention crosspollination on squash and using thise seeds etc....tasting bad too.....also can prove poisonous to some and has been known to be fatal.
They cost £2.50 a few seeds from shops
I can't believe 8 people gave this video a thumbs down. 😲 I guess they own only fake plastic plants.
