It’s that time of year in north Missouri to start collecting and storing seeds. If i see a flower or plant along the road banks i like, i stop and collect as many seeds as possible. Lay them out to dry, then store in a dry place and start them early in the spring. I direct sow where i want the plants – transplanting just doesn’t seem to work for me.
Seed pod bundles harvested and drying. Note how the small seeds are nestled in the pods. I don’t bother with removing the seeds out of the pods since they are so small anyway.

the dried pods are easily harvested but bulky, so i’m removing the seeds from them. Yeah, i need those readers. 😦
