I'm in the middle of my seed collecting and sorting,my sunlounge is covered in pots and trays of seeds in various stages of readiness.
Of all the ones you collect which ones do you enjoy doing,and which ones ado you hate and find frustrating.
I love doing Amaranthus,they so easy and fun to do.Just strip the stems, blow away the chaff and hey presto they're done.
But mulleins are different..It doesn't matter how much I dry them,I'm blowed if I can get them to shed the seeds,I try crushing the dried seed heads, and just end up with dust,yet they seed prolifically all over the garden.
Hardy geraniums are another one, you have to catch them first!!...no matter what time of the day I go out I've missed them,one minute they're on the point of being ripe, the next they're sprung and gone.

Ornamental grasses cover you with itchy burning hairy things. Echinops, Datura and Leonotis poke you with their spines. Hibiscus and Hollyhocks almost always have critters. Hmmmm, yep, I still collect them if someone wants them. LOL
