I think I will go with your recommendation and just pull them out. And, a packet of parsley seeds in around $1.50 or less. The cost of seed is irrelevant when considering reasons to save seed. Seed saved in your own garden will be acclimatised to your specific locality and not where the seed company grows their seed. It's about increased resilience of YUOR garden crops and increased self reliance. Or so I believe. Hi Fran, Not sure how, genetically speaking, how collecting seeds would make them better for my area. They adapt as they go through the cycle of sprouting, living, setting seed, dieing. Good old basic science of natural selection. But, definitely is more self reliant. Kind of fun too. I have been collecting my own Hollyhock seeds for years. A few times I have seen pretty Hocks and asked the owners if I could pinch a few seeds pods. I have some of the most beautiful flowers. Thank you for teaching me. I have such a black thumb! Nah. If you can grow anything at all you are just like the rest of us - you are in the learning phase. That goes on till you die (or it should) |
