Starting to Gather Seeds

Sweet pea seeds

Hello! We are stampeding through the week – well, time is… I am meandering and not achieving a lot.
I did start making a collection of some of the seeds around the garden

Podding the sweet peas is quite relaxing

Carrot seeds are fuzzy and weird!

I will be putting some in the garden soon to start a new lot of carrots growing that will hopefully take us a good way through winter

Parsley
Parsley is everywhere… this is the only seed head I have spotted that is about ready for me to pick
Snow peas dying off

Mostly the snow peas aren’t dried enough to pick properly, but I did get a few handfuls of seed

Fennel everywhere – so pretty

I have very much enjoyed these snapdragons… such a rich colour. So def. saving those seeds in hope to get a few more popping up around the garden next season.

A few tomatoes and zucchini were ready to pick today

Black Russians

Of course I had a pocket of beans to munch on as I did the rounds of the garden!

Hope your day was excellent!

Cheers!

  1. Thanks so much for your wonderful blog! I love your photos and am jealous of all of the incredible veggies. I share it all the time 🙂

  2. I’ve never saved snapdragon seeds. If you just let them dry and die off naturally you should have snap dragons for many seasons to come. 5+ years ago I planted several solid color varieties, and due to the co-dominance they interbred and created magnificent flowers for years to come. This year I only had about 5-10 pop up, but not bad considering the original few(three 6 packs) were purchased so many years ago! The tall rocket and short bushy ones also will intermix making it very interesting! The first two years afterwards I had them pop up EVERYWHERE including cracks in the driveway.

    1. Hi Heather! I love things to just ‘appear’ like the first ones did! I am hoping they will pop up again next season by themselves… but because this colour is so gorgeous I want to keep some specifically – also my Mum put in an order for some! 🙂 I also hope my other patch of them just spread out naturally for a few years too! That would be lovely!
      How funny yours even liked the tough places – like the driveway!!
