Collecting Radish Seeds


I have been reading about how to save radish seeds, because our first planting of radishes went to seed before they had a chance to develop roots. It seemed easy enough to save the seeds, and the radish pods seemed dried enough, so I decided to give it a try today.


The process is very basic. All I had to do was crack open the pods to get to the little round, brownish, hard seeds. They look identical to the ones we bought, so I hope they germinate as well too.


Jennifer and I still have some seeds leftover that we bought from the Cottage Gardener, so we'll likely plant a combination of those and the ones that I collected today in the Fall.
