Lunch Break Seed Savings

I went for a walking today during my lunch break and found a lovely patch of Sulfur Cosmos (Cosmos sulphureus) growing along the side of the road. A lot of them were going to seed so I took the opportunity to gather a good handful. My wife and I have been doing to active seed collecting and saving this year, and September tends to be a great month for it as many plants are finishing up their flowing. Sulfur Cosmos are a lovely and popular flower that is quite good at attracting pollinators and so definitely something that I would like to see grown in more areas. Gathering these seeds will provide a bit of a new batch somewhere next year.

Growing by the side of the road, these Sulfur Cosmos are a lovely and beneficial flower.

Seeds from the Sulfur Cosmos for replanting next year.
