Earth's Answer Gardening & Ecological Rehabilitation

🌱Seed Sunday🌱

It’s officially seed saving season!

But Beware! Not all seeds are created the same.

If you planted seeds from a packet labeled “F1” or “hybrid”, the seeds collected from those plants will not produce a plant the same as the parent plant.

“Heirloom” seeds will produce the same plant as long as they were properly pollinated and isolated from other pollinators.

Pictured is a marigold plant, after the flower was pollinated, and seed collection.
