There are many reasons to save seeds from your garden.

Every year I put many of my house plants outside for the summer and bring them in come fall. My Christmas cactus always buds up as the days get shorter and cooler. If I bring it inside too soon many of the buds stop developing and drop off. This year, I left it until the last minute and then put it in my unheated garage for a couple weeks. Last week I finally brought it into the house, still putting it in an unused room in the house that just has natural light (no lights in the evening). ...

October 30, 2008 This morning, I looked out to the pond to find it covered in a layer of ice. Brr. it’s cold. It’s interesting to watch our two fish continuing on about their day under the ice… the fun part, however, was just now (noon-ish) watching half a dozen sparrows bathing in the little corner of the pond that was open water. I wish I could have gotten a picture.
