Bagging Blossoms
Sorry if this has been posted before but I am looking to save seeds from about 8 varities this year and they are growing in close proxcimity and would like to try bagging them.
What are easy to find blossom bags that I could use? Thanks, Craig |

I find in my area that if you save seed from the first fruit (before the bees get active) you don't have to worry about crossing.

Gobig, I picked up those sachet bags at Walmart last summer. They are the perfect size and the drawstring works great. This far north the bees are active as soon as the first spring flowers open, including tomatoes. I've gotten enough crossed seeds in trades to bag from now on.

Yep I want pure seeds for saving since I only have small quantities of seeds that were graciously given to me by members here. I will be looking to pick up some sachet bags |
