Re: New Gardeners /vs old gardeners

Hi Pottsey,

You and I are two of the newest gardeners on the list (I think), so I feel a
connection to you.  I just saved the heads after they had died and were
somewhat dry.  You can start doing that now, but I waited until September.
In fact, I have Marigolds coming up all over because I would remove the
heads and just drop them on the ground.  I won't do that again.  As far as
storage, I just put them in a ziploc bag and put them in the pantry - no
special storage. This spring I just opened up the head, and there were all
these long black/white seeds.  This is what I planted. I had so many of them
I gave them to whoever would take them and then I threw the rest out.  Now I
realize that was a mistake.  I should have kept them and posted them on one
of the share lists.  Anyway, I planted a few seeds about 3 weeks ago, and
the plants are already 3-4" high.  They took a long time to bloom last year,
but once they did they went on and on and on.  I don't know a lot about
seeds, but I would like to learn.  I just signed onto the seed list to see
if I can learn some more.  Good luck and keep posting questions.  You and
Jeanne inspire me to do the same.
