Vegetable A to Z Garden Harvest Tips:
When Harvesting your vegetables and fruit and herbs see that you also harvest some vegetable seeds,flower seed,herb seeds and fruit seed ready to grown new annuals in the next season
~ Vegetable Seeds are easy to harvest , they need a good drying in a warm space so they dont get moldy
~ Vegetable Seeds can then be stored ready for next year
~ Herb Seed harvesting is easy too - wait til the flowers are in full bloom, then let them ripen t collect the herb seeds when they are ready
~ Herb Seeds can be used the next year or sherb seeds can aslo be started early in the greenhouse
~ Some Herb Seed varieties are self seeding, meaning once the plant releases it seed and it falls to the groung it will get buried and appear again in the next year
~ Do you have a kid gardening space at home ?
~ What is your favourite sensory plant you like to grow when gardening with children ?
