Saving This Big Sunflower For Seeds Next Spring

These poor people are looking for food in the streets of West Africa since the Ebola outbreak.

Seed Saving 

Each fall I begin to anticipate the arrival of all the seed catalogs that fill my mailbox. I spend a lot of cold evenings looking through the catalogs, admiring all the new varieties, dreaming about the coming Spring, and planning next years garden. I also save seeds. Take seeds you want to save from the healthiest plants, and make sure the seeds have reached full maturity allowing the fruit and vegetables to become fully ripe before harvesting for seeds.
