Photo of IMPORTANT!!! Seed harvesting question .....

ooh, that last one is very nice.. put me on the list for that.. Please.

here is a photo of the envelopes that I put the seeds into to dry, they are written on with pencil and tabbed by I. nil, I. purp, species, and crosses (and have tabs within those tabs such as shibori, fuji, feathered, etc..)

then when they are dry, they go into either plastic baggies for trading or smaller coin envelopes for storing for my stash... then I hope to be able to put them all into containers that will follow.

The boxes of white envelopes that come by the 100's at the $dollar store work perfect also to collect and dry seeds, you can seal each empty envelope, then once they are all sealed, cut off one of the edges and stand it up on it's side and you have one long envelope, you can write whatever you are collecting and put them in alphabetical order... after that, I empty them into their homes when they are dry or the envy is getting too full. I used those for several years, now I decided to splurge and get some of the coin envys in different sizes for storing.

I may need more containers for the veggies and flowers/vines, but probably one will do it for those, definitely will need another one for mgs I think.
