Collecting seeds

For the last few weeks I have been collecting seeds from the garden. This is one of my favorite things to do. The organizing is not may favorite part but the collecting part is very calming to me. It just amazes me that a tiny seed can create such a beautiful display. This year I have a lot of new seed varieties that I am saving. In the past it has been mainly sunflowers and cosmos but I have so many new flowers that I added this year, so I have many more to add to my collection. I am also trying something else that is new and that is collecting some Dahlia seeds from my garden. I’ve learned a lot about Dahlias this year. I am fascinated at the fact that a seed from a flower can produce a new variety and is not like the mother plant. I think everything about this flower is mind blowing actually and I am excited to learn more as my gardening experience grows.
