I, too, am planning on saving seeds. I will be saving some Malva 'Zebrina', Pygmy torch, nasturtium, peppers, tomatoes, daylilies, irises, ladybells, Purple coneflowers, and many more.

... and what do you plan to save? I save seeds, and this year I'm hoping to capture some seeds from my "Love Lies Bleeding"... as well as some other flowers/herbs and maters.

Lovetogarden...
I've been saving veggie seeds forever. This will be my first year saving flower seeds. I don't have any books on it, but someone mentioned a book on another forum I'm on... will have to go look it up if I can find that thread.

Suzannes Ashworths book, Seed to Seed has flower saving tips in her second edition. Also the book Saving Seeds by Marc Brown has info in it too. Just thought I"d pass that on.

Looking good for saving few great tomatoes..Paul Robeson, Purple Calabash and Oaxacan Pink. Basils...Osman, and an un-ID'ed/unnamed one straight from a low mountain valley in India(courtesy of a friend). Hopefully another couple veggie ones here and there. cheers .

I can get you some this fall too! I will save some but this year I am mostly dead heading unless I KNOW someone wants something then I will save for them. I have saved so much in the past that I was getting overwhelmed with it all. As things start setting seed I will post a note to see if any one wants some then judge by the replies if I will let them mature or dead head them. Right now I am saving pink lupine and blue bush delphiniums for people.

Kathy, SO sorry to hear that. If you need any more seeds , just let me know. I pulled out a ton of seedlings, transplanted a few, and found that I missed about at least 50, which are growing in the FRONT of the flower bed. LOL. If you need more, I can get them........z.

Well, maybe that's true where you are but not here My love lies bleeding didn't reseed on its own and I didn't save any seeds. Our winter was mild but it rained so much from March through June that any seeds that were there drowned. Nothing has come up.
