Seeds!

Tweet

It's a busy time of the year for me. I've started collecting seeds from my early bloomers and have been drying, sorting, and packaging them for my etsy shop (fluffnflowers.etsy.com). I really love this time and love the idea that this seeds will be my next year's plants. I also love being able to share my seeds with others! I don't think there's anything much better than the gift of a plant, and seeds hold that promise. Of course, I'm a bit of a plant addict, so I may be unusual! Most of my plants are 'heirloom' types, so I can take the seeds and grow plants from them and have them come true. I prefer that over hybrids because I don't have to worry about spending money every year and love to know that I'm preserving a bit of 'vegetable heritage'. Is anyone else this crazy? Do you collect seeds every year or do you rely on store-bought sources? Do you like heirloom varieties? I'd love to hear how you plant every year and what your thoughts are on buying hand collected seeds, as well.
