Seed saving

You Grow Girl, a website dedicated to - you guessed it - gardeners of the female persuasion, has a good blog. What's neat about it is that it's written by a dozen or so gardeners from around the world (well, North America, Australia and the UK anyway).

The most recent post is about seed saving, which I always find thrilling. There's something inherently satisfying about being able to perpetuate a plant you've grown. It's kind of addictive.

And, if you run out of seeds to collect and save, volunteer for the seed collector program at Van Dusen Botanical Garden.
