But that was back in autumn, and so this time I'm planning on trying it in spring (but your question has reminded to me to do so - so thanks). I'll sow some seeds this weekend, so it won't be long before I know how it goes. Last time I grew it in garden soil, but next time I think I'll try it in potting mix.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653345793213312242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-45688810573756523332009-10-15T07:22:49.662+11:002009-10-15T07:22:49.662+11:00Jamie, it gave me a little thrill to read the nice...Jamie, it gave me a little thrill to read the nice things you said about me and my little blog :) Thank you!<br /><br />Starting from seed and saving seeds is addictive and oh so satisfying. Pretty soon you will find youself eyeing plants that are going to seed where ever you go... My husband calls me a seed poacher.<br /><br />I have to agree with you about the pink zinnias, they are lurid (wonderful word).<br /><br />BTW, I saw ages ago that you tried olive leaf arugula, did you like it?Michellehttp://fromseedtotable.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-43305349545378614632009-10-15T00:06:36.994+11:002009-10-15T00:06:36.994+11:00Patiently seedy

Or if they are small, smooth and round seeds you can just allow them to roll off a slightly inclined smooth surface (like a dinner plate held at an angle). I do this all the time with store-bought mustard seeds which are more grit than seeds.Shailajanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-82041660538916365052009-10-14T19:20:26.362+11:002009-10-14T19:20:26.362+11:00I am looking forward to following the next month o...I am looking forward to following the next month or so. Seed saving has so much appeal! I love it on so many levels. I've had varying success with seed raising (high with eggplant, tomatoes and direct sowing - ie the easy ones) not so great with lettuce, capsicum. They seem to go well up to the point of tiny little seedlings and then they sometimes don't turn into the bushy healthy little plants I had hoped. From Seed to Table is a great link too.
