When I harvested last year, I rinsed and dried the seeds and then stored them in paper envelopes in my garage. Seed saving is free, and it preserves genetic diversity, to boot.

Loved your blog !! We have winter rainfall with no frost in winter but then we have hot dry scorching summers. Nothing grows in summer. The succulents just hang on. Our winter and that is our growing season is also starting now. I am itching to do some gardening. We have a succulent garden with lilies, oxalis, mesembs and aloes blooming in our winter.

Make sure that mosquitoes don't use it as a stagnant place to lay their eggs - we have a HUGE problem with West Nile Virus in our area and cannot have any uncovered still water. We have a lid on our rain barrel and the drain pipe goes into a hole on the top. Great tips that we will refer back to this summer!

I planted parsley one year and harvested many of the seeds once the plants went to seed (after two whole years). I am planning on putting those seeds in the ground soon. I've never tried planting seeds I've gathered myself . . . I hope it works.
