The seed saving adventures began in earnest yesterday and I have my eye on a handful of gorgeous beefsteak tomatoes in my greenhouse, whose seeds will also be collected. My Amish paste tomatoes did really well, and paste varieties are a favorite of mine, so I’m excited to grow from saved seeds next season!

I’ve saved flower seeds before, but this is my first real intentional seed saving project, with the goal of growing my seed collection with varieties that do well in our troubling region, and not being reliant every year on seed companies (as much as I enjoy trying new varieties and poring over catalogs!).

And so the anticipation for next year has already begun.
