My tomato plants are about a foot tall already and some have bloom sprouts. I planted all my seedlings about two weeks ago and they love the ground.

Has anyone ever harvested lettuce seed? I have two plants I decided to let go into the seed stage, and the pods are just starting to form.

This year’s Simpson black seed lettuce was all from seeds I saved last year. I just let them go until they looked like dandelions when they get all white, then put the seeds back in the original seed packet (a plastic sandwich bag type thing with a zipper seal).

Right now I have broccoli, cauliflower, arugala, and some other type of green going to seed with hopes for next year.

It’s probably time I drop another hint about the need for a thread dedicated to seed saving.
