Collecting seeds and planting them
I've started to collect seeds from flowers and plants that I have grown this
year eg petuinias, agapanthus, sunflowers, tomatoes etc. How should I store these and do they need to be stored for a year before planting? Cheers Luke |

Cheers Luke Try storing them in brown paper bags with tissues, (Pay envelopes are ideal, as they used years ago,from office supply business) and keep them dry. Also add some bordaux powder to the seeds, will help prevent fungal disease when planting them out. You shouldnt keep seeds any longer than necessary, but some keep better than others. The new planting season is best. |
