Gardening pros on why you should save your veggie seeds — and how to create a library you can sow for yearsGetting to finally harvest what you've grown can be a rewarding experience for any new vegetable gardener. It's proof that all the sweat — and perhaps some tears — have paid off. And though it may be tempting to collect your garden's full bounty, if you let some of your plants mature, it will give you the chance to save their seeds and sow them for years to come.
Generally, Murphy recommends letting one plant per vegetable crop go to seed. This will still give you plenty of seeds to store, share or exchange. One zucchini plant, for example, could produce as many as 50 seeds, she says. And saving just one plant to go to seed will open up more space in your garden to start planting the next season's crop, too.Before drying your seeds, it's important to ensure they are clean.
