Remember back in July’s Seed Chat when we explored how to choose the best plants for seed saving? Well, now it’s time to bring that knowledge to life—because harvesting season is here!
September is when the magic really happens. As your garden starts to give its final gifts, it’s also offering the seeds for what comes next. Saving seeds isn’t just practical—it’s a powerful way to keep the strongest, tastiest, and most resilient parts of your garden going year after year.
In this Seed Chat, Greg and Bill will guide us through the when, where, and how of harvesting seeds. From the super simple—like seeds you can just pluck and store—to a few tried-and-true techniques that help keep your seed stock strong and viable for seasons to come.
We’ll also talk about tracking what you’ve saved and from where, so you can build a clear, useful map of your seed stash (and avoid the mystery jars we’ve all got tucked in a drawer somewhere).
Whether you’re brand-new to seed saving or already knee-deep in pods and envelopes, this conversation will help you harvest with confidence—and set you up for an even better garden next year.
