Yes, the way I saved the seed worked really great. I was hard up for boxes the day I pulled them from the garden and put them in huge plastic garbage bags and had to check those daily for moisture.. after I got the boxes, things were much better for dryign them. You can do lots of kinds of flwoers that way... I also did some marigolds which I have to deadhead off the stems yet.. Im not looking forward to them.. the stinky things they are,but the zinnias worked very well.

These are those bargains I got early on in the spring that got frosted at the garden center and were like a $1 a flat! I got lke 18 flats of them.. a few were flats of marigolds, but if their seed turns out to be viable in the spring, can we say cha-ching!
