Last year I harvested five plants worth of broccoli seeds. I probably got over 5k worth of seeds. I'll be good to go for the rest of my life.😅 Love the videos keep them coming.
Hello Luke. You are a knowledgable and passionate young man! Thank you! And a wonderful teacher as well. We have learned a lot from you. God bless you and your family!❤
I'm loving this! I actually grow a few radish just to go to seed, I use radish pods in place of snow peas when they tucker out in July. Radish pods are amazing in stir fry and in salad! ❤
Radish pods and seed. I usually don’t like radishes, but I got some cherry belle for free and they’re currently growing in the garden. They haven’t even produced yet, but I’m excited to try to save seeds. Thanks for making everything look so doable to this newbie!
Edit: Should have watched the video 3 seconds longer! LOL. Sorry Luke! It's almost like you know what you're doing or something. 🤣 🙏 Thank you. You don't have to sacrifice the harvest... you just eat the immature seed pods rather than the root. I actually prefer them to the root. Plus they just keep producing all summer long and they're super easy to grab and toss in a salad. If you don't harvest them all... the ones that turn into seed, you can harvest for seed. I throw them in every bed because they do such a great job to camouflage other plants and deter pests. They also make a lovely delicate trailing flower in hanging baskets.
I saved the same kind of radish seeds last year and planted them in a different spot this year. This year I planted potatoes in the same spot the radishes grew last year and to my surprise I had radishes growing with my potatoes. I had know idea radishes could survive the winter. I live north of Green Bay in Wisconsin
I find it amazing how the pods pop open to spread the seeds. Poppy plants do the same thing. I left dome poppy pods on the counter. After a couple days the pods popped and spread the seeds all over the kitchen. Amazing!
Thanks for the video! I found it really helpful as I am trying to break up all my lupine pods right now and has been a slow process. This looks like it is probably much faster technique than what I was trying to do.
Hi Luke After cleaning radishes from the store a few of them had tiny leaves. I planted them in a pot. Got so many pods from just 4 radishes. Too green to harvest.
Oh my gosh! Thank you!! I have a third planting of radishes, I’ll be letting about 3 of them go to seed. I want to try some pods for eating and some for their seed. Thank you!
Awesome! In the beginning of the video I was cringing the cabbage moth, or whatever that one technical was, taunting. I found this year wearing the big brim hat doubles really well as a those moth swatter.
LOL love the joke, yes you need a rocking chair! lol I had never let radish go to seed so this year I did so I could try the pods. OMGOSH!!! They were awesome! I harvested a ton and snacked on them and used them in salads. I don't know that I could ever save seeds as I either eat the radish or the seed pods especially! lol I'll try.....lol i agree, a rocking chair, a table, some lemonade and my garden....that's all I need.
When the seed pods get fluffy on the tip, remove the pod, grasp the fluff and pull it out, and dump the seeds out from the pods. There will be almost no chaff. (Luke probably has a faster way to save larger quantities.)
Did you discard the small seed pods because the size is likely to mean the seeds will produce small/puny radishes, (kind of like how it’s best to avoid planting tiny garlic cloves), or is it because the effort vs the amount of seeds isn’t worth dealing with?
Oh I’m so excited for the salad video, I’ve saved all my seed heads from my spring salad. It would be so cool to use those seeds to plant my fall lettuce. Also, I’ve gathered probably close to 3 cups worth of marigold seeds, but I can’t seem to get them to germinate. Could I be harvesting those seeds too early?
i try to harvest broccoli seeds but the plant was full off bugs by the time it was starting to seed so i have to cut it and trow it away and far so thos bug won;t go to the other plants 😅
Way back in the 60s, we had to clean our weed. Saving seeds is a breeze! A tray and a card, I prefer the 7 of hearts, and you have your seeds ready to plant for next year!

This would have been perfect this spring for me - all my root veggies bolted in a heat wave😅
But next year this is going to be amazing!
You can eat the radish pods.. they taste like radishes. And there are varieties grown specifically for the pods..
I love the seed series! It is teaching me so much.
I love seed math! Keep the seed saving videos coming! (Although I think I have a seed saving addiction. I just can’t leave a seed behind.)
I love the seed saving videos so much!

I definitely saved this video. I also adore those amazing clip art furnishings. Perfect!

Eat the pods! I have never thought of that. Definitely learned something new today! Thanks, Luke!
Lol!! Your great Luke! I've been frustrated with chaf for years and now feel silly because your method is so easy. 😄
Thanks Luke, I'm wanting to learn how to save seeds and you do a great job at showing me how from start to finish! Thanks
Saving seeds is brilliant! I found the flowers of radishes are delicious in salads.
I harvest pods to blanch and freeze them. I use them in stir-fry in place of snow peas. Much better flavor for Chinese dishes.

Excellent, thank you! I actually have radishes that are ready, so I may give this a try! Berkshires, Massachusetts. Thank you!
Interesting video and very useful, thanks. I will now head over to that spinach video.

Seed saving videos are so fun! Thank you Luke!
You posted this video just in time. I have some lovely dried radish pods waiting for me. Thanks for the helpful tips!
I am sooo glad I found you! I am learning a lot from you. Very grateful.

Hi Luke

Thanks for sharing so much helpful knowledge with the world! We appreciate you.

I never thought of saving radish seeds!
I need this. I had just harvested my dried radishes about 2 weeks ago
Thank you!
Awesome! In the beginning of the video I was cringing the cabbage moth, or whatever that one technical was, taunting. I found this year wearing the big brim hat doubles really well as a those moth swatter.
I saved a ton of dill seeds the other day.
Seed math is incredible, especially when it comes to dill. I think I could open a seed shop after harvesting seeds from 8 plants.
We love radish pods in our salad! Such a nice crisp add.
Great vid Luke!
I collected hundreds of seeds in the past weeks.
Thanks for this video 🌬️
Excellent video.
Very cool! I’ll be trying this out
I wonder why I have a bunch of seed pods but no radishes? Anyone know?
Very helpful. Thanks!
Why are the smaller pods better off in the compost pile? Is that because you already have lots? Or are they not as good?
great technique
LOL love the joke, yes you need a rocking chair! lol I had never let radish go to seed so this year I did so I could try the pods. OMGOSH!!! They were awesome!

Hi can you tell me how to save seeds from lettuce?
When the seed pods get fluffy on the tip, remove the pod, grasp the fluff and pull it out, and dump the seeds out from the pods. There will be almost no chaff. (Luke probably has a faster way to save larger quantities.)
PLEASE, PLEASE, remember all these jokes.... they are PERFECT Dad jokes, to use later when the kids get older
I was thinking that same thing! 😂
Great video. I'd love to see a carrot seed harvesting video.

Are you leaving them on the plant until they’re dried up?
So the seeds wouldn't survive in the pods on the plant over winter?
What is that big plant with pink flowers behind you?
Just bought 14 types of seed from your shop. I should have watched this first, lol!
1:00 no waste in harvest by feeding to my 🐓 etc.
i try to harvest broccoli seeds but the plant was full off bugs by the time it was starting to seed so i have to cut it and trow it away and far so thos bug won;t go to the other plants 😅
Mercy! I let one plant go to seed, there must be thousands of seeds!
Okay but now where do you put them?
Why can’t you eat t.hem after seed? They just taste bad?
Special note you might not be able to eat the radish itself but the leaves are great.
❤
I’ve been looking at the flowers thinking that’s where the seeds are 😂
there's sound?
Luke, perfect dad joke...
Prepare to Assume green bean snapping position....
No sound?
No sound 😢
Please redo video with sound
Luke. I can tell alot about a guy by how he gathers seed
I can tell that you have Never had any experience with seeded marijuana..
😁
