Does that count as saving seeds? If any of our plants here bear fruits, I'd plant them as well.Chrishttp://cianoy.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-petunia-attack-of-cats-and-sprout.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33456225.post-3591245192759560682010-02-10T19:20:16.940+10:302010-02-10T19:20:16.940+10:30There's so much truth in that.

I can't grow melons from shop bought seeds to save my life, but the plants coming out of my compost are now the 4th generation from an originally shop bought, locally grown melon.<br /><br />And the tomatoes are amongst the healthiest and always give me a surprise as to what variety each individual plant is.Heikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17999245793961798308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33456225.post-50895441251473986422010-02-10T03:23:37.656+10:302010-02-10T03:23:37.656+10:30Maggie, this season I'll actually be planting ...Maggie, this season I'll actually be planting with the 2nd generation of some of my own saved seeds. I don't know why but I always thought it was too hard or complicated. I look forward to building a bank of seeds that have come to know my own little bit of the world. Thanks for a great post.Lisa Carroll-Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273095136947961386noreply@blogger.com
