Seed Saving

Here is a great website to help you find and identify approximately 500 different variety of seeds that are waiting to be harvested. http://theseedsite.co.uk/seedpods.html

beyond comprehensive - thankyou, Shirley

I agree that "The Seed Site" is very useful. I do have to wonder why the seed pictures posted are of such poor quality. They are very small and the images seem highly compressed. Maybe we could get a fund together to send the guy/gal/group a nicer camera, a bigger hard drive or a better host site. ;-)

LOL, Brent! I am up for contributing! I keep clicking on the images to get the bigger size and there isn't one!
Maybe I need to step up the magnification in my cheaters?

I am going to have a bit more time on my hands now that I am no longer working the extra job. I am planning on updating the Plant Files with pictures of seeds of some of the plants that I have collected. Some of you might want to do the same. I also make a note that it wintersows well so someone else referencing it can be made aware of that info.

Yea, I agree that Plant Files is a nice place to add pictures of seeds and seedlings (while I am on the subject...I also like to see pictures of plants in off-season as well...maybe winter structure or when not in bloom). Also, I exchanged a few emails with Trudi last year and she seemed happy to receive more pictures of seedlings and I am sure she would not mind people contributing more entries to the Seed Saving FAQ section of wintersown.org.

On "another forum" I ran across a link to this site: http://www.frsa.org/plateindex.htm

It looks like they have 17 pages of high quality seed images. It is hard to get scale from some of the pictures, but it looks like another good site to add to your bookmark list.

Great Brent! Thank for including this seed site as well.
