I love seeds. I love them any way I can get them. But the ones I have saved from plants I started, from heirloom veggies that I buy at the farmer’s market, for seeds I hop a fence to gather off of something in a field, are my favorite. I love the art of seed saving, and I’m amazed how many people never have.
I would let carrots go to seed whether I was saving seed or not. They are so pretty and so interesting.
