Saving Seed

  
I let a lot of the flowers go to seed here then clip off the tops and shake the seed out. That method works best for the purple coneflowers and the black eyed susans.

 For the orange cosmos here we just reach down and let the seed fall into our hands.

It's a great way to save money and get next years garden off to a good start.

I'm looking forward to seeing some of these flowers back again next year.
