Gardening tip - saving seed

Gardening tip - saving seed

Autumn is a good time save seed.  Leave a few flowerheads on your favourite plants after they've finished blooming to allow the seeds to ripen – aster seeds are attached to a head of fluffy down, which makes them easy to collect.  Store them in labelled paper bags or envelopes in a cool dry place until spring when you can sow them.  Exciting!
