yes!!! thanks for showing this video. I planted my first snow peas a little late this year and I did not get an abundance of fruits so I decided to leave them on the vine for seed collection but did not know how to. Your video showed me how simple it is to collect the seeds.
wow I have to try this. also kim can you do a complete, thorough summer garden tour sometime? I would love to see all the varieties you are growing and such !
Hello Noraaa, super easy to save seeds -let me know how it goes for you! A garden tour is in the works for our blog this summer. Make sure you head over there to visit: calikimgardenandhome.com.

I collected from my garden this last Spring/Summer season tomato seeds, watermelon, corn, peppers, pumpkin, onion, carrots, marigolds, sweet peas, basil, giant sunflowers, radish and Zinnias . I did save some beans and snake beans the year before.
Hello Mary, awesome to hear that you are saving seeds too! Its a great feeling to know that you are doing your best to be self-sustainable! It will be fun to plant next season knowing these seeds came from your garden and will be more adapted to your growing conditions. That for watching!
I have peas I've been growing for a little over a month and 3 weeks in socal weather I started germination back in late april and they have now started producing pods, I've realized after germination that it was not idea temperature since it's about to get that summer heat so Im just going to harvest some seeds to save for another season now and hopefully this time i would be ready
Since I use heirloom and open pollinated varieties, mostly heirloom, just about everything I plant I try to save seeds from. Right now I have some Red Romaine Lettuce seeds getting ready to harvest, some Sugar Snap Peas, and some Romanesco Broccoli seeds still out drying on the plant. I've already saved some Chinese Cabbage this year. Except for the peas, the rest are off of plants planted last spring which lasted through until this spring before bolting. All provided me produce along the way. Given the rough cold this Winter, those seeds will be a welcome addition to my personal seed bank. I have some Oak Leaf Lettuce trying to go to seed and I may let some of it to collect some seeds from them. All of the Lettuce was from some mixed seeds I bought on E-bay, so the idea will be to put some of those heirloom seeds in labelled envelopes. As you said, it is so much better not having to put so much into heirloom seeds this year as those seeds tend to be a little on the expensive side for somebody on a short financial leash. But then, saving them was part of the long-term strategy for keeping costs down in the long-term right from the beginning.
Hello Stanely, your planning and strategizing is paying off in your garden now that you have been going for a few years now! Bet that is a great feeling! Great job! Thanks for watching and sharing your seed saving plans!
I'm on my fourth year reaping and sowing cayenne pepper seeds and 2nd or 3rd year planting reaped bell pepper, marigold, cucumber, kale, bean and radish seeds. I intend to reap my tomato seeds this year and hope to remember to not pick some carrots to let them flower next year. I was surprised to see that kale and radish had self seeded in the garden this year so I don't have to plant them. It's a bit of a game for me to each year try to have a better crop, improve the soil, try to make use of the crop more productively, increase my collection of seeds and be more self reliant and sustainable , it's a lot of fun IMO.
This is awesome, sounds like you are learning so much (and having FUN) just by experimenting and seeing what works best for you in your garden. This is what it's all about - nice job! Thanks for watching and keep me posted on your seed saving!
Awesome. Peas are just starting to be done producing where I'm at here in Zone 5. I'm hoping to grow twice as many next year and will be giving this a try.
Hello Conklin - sunflowers are so beautiful, my favorite flower - those mammoths will be amazing to save seeds from! If you love mammoths, you'll enjoy seeing my mammoth volunteer sunflower in this video: ua-cam.com/video/PqwuvpQnIE4/v-deo.html. Enjoy the lovely color sunflowers bring to your garden! Thanks for watching!
Do you sterlize/disinfect the seeds before planting? Some of my pods had some fungus on it when harvesting. Definitely don't want to plant a diseased seed! Any tips appreciated!
Super helpful, thank you very much. Also, it would be super helpful if you make more videos like these so we can have more free seeds. Vegitables like, beans, cauliflower and so on. 👍👍
Good Sunday morning from Baja Kim! I did this to my Sugar Snap Peas so I'm set for when the time comes to start a fall crop of these delicious little peas!!! Have an awesome Sunday!!! :)
+CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY I have been able to do this with my peppers and tomatoes as a result 90% of my peppers and tomatoes are from the previous seasons seeds saved from harvest! Thanks again Kim! :) ps...and to think I will have Nardella seeds for as long as I want after this season!!! (:
So after they are dry , you just put a lid on that and dry store them till next season? or do you keep them in fridge or freeze I am totally new to this.
It really just depends on your location. You want them completely dry or you risk mold or mildew. We have high humidity here and frequent rain, so I normally take my seeds to a covered - sometimes indoor - location to finish drying.
Kim, tomatoes can self pollinate, but they are primarily wind pollinators and cross breed quite readily... Peppers on the other hand are primarily self pollinators and do not cross breed as readily.
Thank you so much for sharing this! Would it make sense to us a desiccant in the storage container to help remove any water, or will that likely damage the pea seeds?
I have peas in my garden that are yellowing and crispy, however they are a slightly darker tan with some black spots on the pod that I think may be mold or mildew from the moisture in my area.. can i save these seeds even though the pods have spots? And can i use peas dried by these means as food? Like the dried peas that come in bags at the store? Thanks for the information! I love your videos
Tomato seeds - I've planted some hybrids such as early pick, supersweet and supersteak. I also planted roma tomatoes (open-pollinated) but they aren't heirloom.
Hi Katie - wow, you've got quite a variety going there! Are these all from seed you saved? I can' wait for you to taste your first tom of the season!

Question: in summer of 2016, I planted peas, then when the season was done, I saved some seed which is successfully dried. Now, I plan to plant them. Should I save seed again this year, or start with fresh next year? Love seed saving, but still learning. Any tips/advice would be great.
I Just planted peas and i thought it was weird because they grew like 3-4 inches in the pest two days and the wether in eugene has been 95 degrees this past week and the peas are just growing like crazy and i thought they would die but no
Hi Hunter, Wow, pretty hot for Eugene, isn't it? You got lucky, maybe you are growing a more heat resistant variety? Let me know how they do - thanks for watching!
I need to remove the plant to make room for my tomatoes, I have lots of large bulging peas that are clearly going to seed (they are supposed to be snow peas), can i pick them now and let them dry indoors and still get viable seeds?
I think also it's down the PH of the soil that you can get the same crop from previous year planting. also I think it would be a good idea to invest in a pair of secateurs those pea pods looked a bit tough to remove.
Appreciate the tips, Paul! I do have a pair of pruners, but just didn't have them with me at the time of filming, so just improvised! Wha seeds are you saving? Thanks for watching!
I put them in a plastic zip loc bag and store them in a cabinet away from sun light. (I should have mentioned this!!! Thank you for asking Daniellegrandpa!!!
Hi Kim, I know this is an older video, but hopefully you’ll see my question comment. I have a question about gathering pea seeds. I grew some snow peas this year and have left several pods on the vine about 3 weeks ago. The several pods have puffed up to their seed size. I have since stopped watering them and they are turning a little lighter but not crispy like yours. I REALLY need that space in my garden but also really want to save my seeds. I read somewhere that I can pick them halfway dried as long as take the seeds out of the pod and dry them in the sun or leave them out. Would you recommend this? Thanks!
Hi...i have a tip for you that I've tried before and has worked for me..you could pull the whole plant out with the roots still attached..hang it upside down in a garage and let it dry out fully...i hope this helps..ive done this before with saving beans seeds and it worked for me..good luck
Hello Geneva - So awesome that your son is gardening - beans are such a great crop to grow, quick producers too, here's a video I did on how to grow beans: ua-cam.com/video/kECYA3uL4lE/v-deo.html. Also visit my blog, calikimgardenandhome.com to download your free growing guide, “Grow 3 Vegetables in 6 Weeks”, beans are one of the veggies I feature. Keep me posted on how your beans produce for you!
I made a huge mistake and forgot an entire bag of shelled pink-eyes! I was drying lots of seeds to go into the freezer and some how this one bag got missed. So the seeds smell very sour. Can I dry them completely and save them for seeds? I hate to waste them completely!!
Hello. My peas are not flowering anymore (we have now 88F weather). Is it okay to cut plants with pea pods on and hang them up to dry, or do they must dry up while being attached to plants and plants be attached to earth?
I tried to do this in our community garden, and after harvesting I found that my seed packets were full of beetles, and the seeds empty and non-viable. Do you have any recommendations for sorting out seeds that are infested with pea pests prior to storage?
I couldn't figure out how to get seed from my Brussels Sprout. I read it was center of flower but I didn't see anything or wasn't looking at correct time.
I've never grow brussel sprouts, but I believe they produce seeds the second year and need a period of cold (overwinter) to produce seeds. Let me know what you find in your research! Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Maria, they do need pollination, but are self pollinating, in other words, they don't depend on the wind or insects to pollinate them to produce fruit. Are you planning saving seeds from your garden this year? Thanks for watching!
In a normal situation, a bee or some wind would take pollen from one blossom to another. With self pollination, the pollen falls from inside the blossom onto itself and turns into fruit or seed that way. In that case, you only need one plant to get a good fruit set.
HELP! A "helper" came along and pulled my sugar pea plants that I was saving for next years seeds. How do I fix this or are they ruined? Most of the pods are still green, but have full sized seeds in them.
Hi Pat, lol, gotta love that someone wants to "help" in the garden! Just lay the pea pods out in the sun to dry them for next year. When they are dry and crisply and you hear the seeds rattle inside the pods, they're ready to harvest for storage
This requires a huge amount of self discipline. You have to stop yourself from eating all those delicious fresh peas straight out of their pods in order to save some seeds for next year! Nom nom nom...
damn it lucky man jealous lol.... At the moment im doing is super hot chillis (reapers, bubblegum 7 pods, borg 9 and some mild ones), tomatoes black cherry, beefsteak and some plums, potatoes in buckets (melody, Sarpo Mira & Kestrel, I am trying to grow and giant carrot also trying to make an bonsai super hot chili tree
Hey girl!!! Great video! Everything is coming up beautifully this year! This year I'm saving my Scarlett runner beans, pintos , and my yellow wax Cherokee beans! I've never eaten the Scarlett or wax beans so I'm not sure what they taste like it even how to cook them!! Some tips on that would be nice :) Btw how are your grapes coming along? God bless!
Hello! glad you are saving seeds - all easy plants to save seeds from! The SRB are fantastic - some of the best I have had. Super tender, just make sure to pick them when they are young. You can steam them, or my fav, oven roasted. Here's my oven roasted veggies video, super easy and so amazingly flavorful: ua-cam.com/video/4ApKdCnC4Sc/v-deo.html. Grapes are coming along - will have to do an update vid soon! Great to hear from you - keep me posted!
+CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY oh no!! I may have let mine go too long:/ they are still green and don't have lines yet ... I should be ok tho ,right? Lol!! Glad to hear the grapes are doing well!! Wonder if they are good companions with herbs.... Thinking of planting some grapes this year. Look forward to the video !! Great to hear from you as well :) God bless
Definitely worth promoting saving seeds! Great job Kim! Your tomatillos look great too by the way!
Thanks, Luke! Looking forward to some salsa verde soon!
Yeahh
Thanks Cali, great video! A few questions: what do you store your seeds in, and where do you store them? How long will they remain viable?
yes!!! thanks for showing this video. I planted my first snow

Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Many Thanks, You're a star!!
What if I were to plant the seeds right away without storing? Would I still need to dry them first?
So after they are dry , you just put a lid on that and dry store them till next season? or do you keep them in fridge or freeze I am totally new to this.
Very informative video. Thank you for sharing.

Any recommendations or rules you have for length of time of drying out pea seeds after shelling ready pods?
It really just depends on your location. You want them completely dry or you risk mold or mildew. We have high humidity here and frequent rain, so I normally take my seeds to a covered - sometimes indoor - location to finish drying.
Kim, tomatoes can self pollinate, but they are primarily wind pollinators and cross breed quite readily... Peppers on the other hand are primarily self pollinators and do not cross breed as readily.
Not true!

So I have some dried peas. Now I want to plant them, do I soak them and for how long before I plant them. Thanks
Can you save seeds from a pod you picked green if you let it dry out?
Ooos I picked my pea pod and opened it. I’m curious if they’re still able to dry

Now do you store in the fridge, freezer, or just on a shelf?
I put them in a plastic zip loc bag and store them in a cabinet away from sun light. (I should have mentioned this!!! Thank you for asking Daniellegrandpa!!!
Found some wild peas and i wanted to dry the pods. I wanna see if i can breed a plant that isnt poisonous. Thanks for the info
great video!
Damn I should have watched this BEFORE collecting my half ripe seeds ...
I know the feeling!

Can I take pods off the plant before it dries out then dry them off the stalk?
Can you use a dehydrator just a bit
And after they dry out where do you save them do you put them in the freezer
I cut the peas off the vine already can I still use them.
awesome vid ty
You are welcome - thanks for stopping by!
can you show us a bean vid, our son planted one and it's taking off, just don't know how,where, or what to do to get production from it

How can I save them if it’s a fall-winter pea garden?
I made a huge mistake and forgot an entire bag of shelled pink-eyes! I was drying lots of seeds to go into the freezer and some how this one bag got missed. So the seeds smell very sour. Can I dry them completely and save them for seeds? I hate to waste them completely!!
Is this the same way they should be dried to use for food, like dried peas for split pea soup?
yes
so you stop watering once they start to show signs of the season being over?
Hello. My peas are not flowering anymore (we have now 88F weather). Is it okay to cut plants with pea pods on and hang them up to dry, or do they must dry up while being attached to plants and plants be attached to earth?
Yes, you can cut the plants and dry the peas off the vine. Just lay them out in a spot with good air flow. Thanks for watching!
Any suggestions on saving corn?
it has to be as dry as possible
I tried to do this in our community garden, and after harvesting I found that my seed packets were full of beetles, and the seeds empty and non-viable. Do you have any recommendations for sorting out seeds that are infested with pea pests prior to storage?
I'm no expert Hayley, but I would give a go at freezing them once you were sure the peas were completely dried out.
Please tell me the name of the fruit that is grown near your pea plants.
Cool vid 😊😊
Thanks, Mike! Do you have a garden and if so, do you like to save any seeds from year to year? Thanks for watching!

How many pods can you get from one plant roughly?
There's no set amount...whatever yours can give really, Rose.
do the same principles apply to bok choi seed pods?
Hello Jason, yes, you'll want to make sure the pods totally dry out, then harvest the seeds. Keep me posted - thanks for watching !

Grapes are coming along - will have to do an update vid soon! Great to hear from you - keep me posted!
+CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY oh no!! I may have let mine go too long:/ they are still green and don't have lines yet ... I should be ok tho ,right? Lol!! Glad to hear the grapes are doing well!! Wonder if they are good companions with herbs.... Thinking of planting some grapes this year.
Look forward to the video !! Great to hear from you as well :) God bless
