I saved seeds from a set that went to seed, I found it to be a bit of a mistake, the resulting plants all bolted, I suppose it is best to save seed from a plant that is later to seed, otherwise you are selecting for the genetic tendancy to bolt.

I love gardening with my daughter, the mistakes are all part of the charm, though sometimes highly frustrating; such as the time my daughter decided to hoe the lettuce bed, she hoed it alright, lettuces and all.
