RE: What Do You Do When You Can't Have A Real Garden? You Make Use Of Pots!

Awesome! That's what it's all about. Growing what you can with the space you have. Are you into saving your seeds? I'm all about saving and sharing heirloom varieties. So many have been lost over the years so it's up to us. Glad to have found you on here. Grow forth!

I mean, I saved some seeds from cilantro to try to get to grow again, and the results were described above... I failed :(

I will try to save some other seeds this time around as well.

My best advice on seed saving is to be growing heirloom varieties and leave one of each plant go unharvested. Lettuce for example will eventually bolt up 4 ft, flower and when the flowers dry out, they will become 10,000 or so seeds. Similar with dill, cilantro and many others. Some things like peppers, I just let one of the peppers dry out and then you can open it up and remove the seeds when they're dry.

There are some great youtube videos on seed saving if you're looking for help on a specific variety. Stay in touch and I'd love to offer any advice I can. Onward and upward!
