I have the same envelopes. I usually save all my sunflower seeds and my cosmos. I’ve been growing cosmos for 25 years before I started gardening vegetables and I give out Cosmo seeds as gifts to people because Cosmos are so beautiful and they bring in the bees big time. I have melon seeds, watermelon, and a few pumpkin seeds from last year, which I think I’ve already popped in ., Oh peppers, jalapeño bell pepper, banana pepper, any kind of pepper seeds I have already saved as well 🌱🌱🌱💚
I save cucumber seeds from the one I inevitably miss that gets overripe and turns yellow. Those seeds are fully developed and hard. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your gardening journey with us, Chad.
I saved seeds and ended up with a spicy bell pepper 😂 oh and the plant puts off bell shaped peppers and Anaheim shaped peppers. It’s crazy but it’s fun and they are great in my enchilada casserole. 🤯🥳
👍🏽🌱 i’ve been saving seeds for about two years of course my own canary melons some of my cucumbers, sunflower seeds that are unique still working on saving seeds. A lot of a lot of them melons melons watermelons can. I’m getting better at it.💚🌱
I started saving seed with okra! Found out how easy it was and been saving them and more since! I do love saving seed! My question is how long are those stored seeds good for? 1, 2 yrs or more? I hadn’t looked into saving squash seed so glad to know how easy it is and will do that one now too since I found myself having to buy yellow squash seeds this year!
Paper fir saving seeds? Won't they dehydrate too much? Mine are in plastic bags with rice. Is that a mistake? I've saved tomato pepper and flower seeds successfully. Still waiting to see if the carrot seeds are true and not mixed with queen Anne's lace. Last year's hybrid mix of squash seeds resulted in some good yellow and green zucchini, and some good yellow spaghetti like squash but mostly failures in butternut and acorn combos that had really weird textures and not really edible. So conclusion for me is only do one type of squash when wanting to save seeds. The tomatoes? Wow. I had a tiny tomatoe plant that just kept expanding it's reaches and a plum/large tomato hybrid that gave huge plum tomatoes. That made excellent bruschetta. All in all a great learning experience.
I'd say if your method works, keep doing it. There isn't 1 right way to do everything, in my opinion. Tomato seeds are different though, I'll be doing a video on them in the coming weeks. 👍💯
Such a sad morning, the top stem of my squash plant with all the new growth has broken off because the support fell down. Will it still grow and make a new top or is it done like topping tomatoes? I am crying right now 😢 another great video! Newbie gardener here
@jennifermitchell8885 It probably won't continue growing in length, but it will probably send out side shoots, or just start producing fruit. I understand you're upset, but take the good with the bad, learn, and push forward. Everything we do in the garden is a learning experience. 💯🤗👍
Chad, love your videos. I’ve been saving seeds for years, with much success. Question: I liked the video about your 3’ long Asian beans. I tried to find them in our town, without any luck. Found them on AMAZON & planted them about a month ago. Some came up, but they are only about 2” high. We live in 7a, do you think I’ll get any harvest?👍🏻💕
I had the same problem with a package of long beans. Sorry forgot the name. They were sickly looking right from the start. Do some beans only grow well in the south?

Pepper looked like a habanero. 😎

Practice makes perfect... I'm literally saying seeds right now💯🤣👍
There was something you said in the video that I came here to comment on, but now I’ve forgotten what it was. Damn, I’m getting old. 🤣

I've read 1-3 years, depending on how you store them. 👍💯
@@DownHomeBackyardGardening ok! Good to know! Thanks!

You should get some off the plants once they start growing... then save some of the seeds from those plants.

Thanks Chad, I do hope I get some beans from the 3’ Asian beans.
@wendyburston3132 idk, but for most beans, they love 🥵 heat. I got the beans from Baker Creek. 👍
