Weekly topic challenge: seed-saving [completed]

Question

I made a post asking for topic ideas for the challenge, and the next open suggestion is for seed-saving.

You can ask a question about saving seeds of any type you'd like to learn about, or you can share knowledge you already have. Pick a favorite plant and learn/share how to collect and store the seeds!

Please use the tag seed-saving when posting questions for this challenge, and remember to keep the site quality at a good level.

Next week, on November 17, I will tally up the results to see how we did, in an answer below this post. Feedback? Comment below this post or find me in our chat room. Have fun!
