SAVE it for a rainy day!

If you've collected the seeds yourself, you know where the parent was growing, so you'll be able to make an immediate rough assessment about its suitability to your climate, or to the microclimate of the location you're planting the seeds in. The simplest form of seed saving occurs with flowers and vegetables that produce loose, dry seed that isn't encased in a pulpy fruit. My grandfather began collecting native seed and propagating from it in the 1920s, and I've spent the odd decade collecting endangered-species seed to establish other colonies. I love plants that seed heavily - parsley, coriander, calendula - and I just grab the seeds off the plant and throw them around. [Extracted from the article]
