Hi all just noticed my lettuce on the allotment has turned to seed
And was wondering how I go about using these? If its a really hard job them ill just throw away, but I would like to use them next year
Thanks

hi, i have used my baby bath for pretty much every seed i have saved, just wait til they go fluffy a bit then bash them gently in a big tub, i havent found a way to get rid of the fluff yet though? i will ponder on that? i saved over 4000 parsnip seeds with that method though!

Just remember that the seed has come from pollination with another of the species so may not come out as the plant from which you took the seed.

Basically Plant A pollinated by Plant B makes Plant C seed, not more Plant A seed.

It does not matter if A and B are both the same, quite often they have to be different, what comes out is governed by the laws of genetics not wishful thinking.
