Over the years, I have learned a few tricks for cutting corners and keeping garden costs down while still enjoying lots of beautiful flowers. On the very top of that list is saving seeds at the end of each gardening season. Now some plants, such as foxglove, columbine, nasturtiums and cleome, have a tendency to reseed all by themselves. If you prefer a more nature-intended look, just make sure to let them go to seed before you cut them back after frost. But maybe you have another spot where you’d like to add these varieties, you want to share with friends or a more formal look is what you are after. Then seed saving is for you.

      @Julienne DeVos ~ You are so right! Seed saving and exchanging is a great way to commune with fellow gardeners and get free plants for your garden!

    I save my seeds in envelopes also and have a box full of them. Do I need to plany my Dollar Tree Seeds now or wait until spring? Smiles, Cyndi
