A Different Kind of Harvest....

....Otherwise known as "Why I never buy flower seeds..."


We've began our annual seed harvest around here. Last night Cohen, Lakin and I gathered about 2 cups worth of cosmos seeds to save for next spring.


In a couple weeks we will begin gathering marigold,

and morning glory....actually with the amount of seeds we miss, I don't even have to plant morning glories anymore....they reseed themselves all over the yard.

We also have a few different varieties of sunflower heads drying- some for us, some for the birds.

Just don't forget to pick them when they are dry, or nearly dry, so you don't get a moldy mess in your bag. Something little ones need to be reminded of often :)
