I'm always thinking ahead, to next years garden and this will be my fifth year saving the seeds from my Black Eyed Susans.
They seem to grow without my even seeding the spot by my front fence, but I save the spent flowers, let them dry then put the seeds in an envelope to be scattered out back in the fall.
Of all the flowers growing in my yard, these two seem to be the ones that love
to grow all on their own. Too much rain, or no rain at all and their happy!
And from the way they look in the garden,
"They make me happy too"
What more could this woman ask for?

Well done on saving seeds! I need to get better at this. My mom saves seeds from her garden, and then she sends them to me as part of my Christmas present--a gift of flowers for the upcoming growing season-I love it!
Hi Susan,
Blackeyed Susans are one of my favorites flowers. It's nice they just reseed themselves, but it's nice to spread them to other areas in the garden. Enjoyed your photos and I'm so happy to meet your. I'll be your newest follower.

Sandy, I love both Black Eyes and Cone Flowers. Mine reseed quite profusely so I don't save seeds. In fact I gave quite a few starts away this Spring. You truly are blessed. I have a link party, Share Your Cup Thurs. Links open at 4 p.m. on Weds. I would love if you shared this or another post.
Hugs,
Jann

Oh, I wish my coneflowers would reseed- I can barely get them to grow for me here, our soil is so bad! I've added soil and compost, but it doesn't stand a chance against the huge fir tree roots, clay soil, and dry weather. Good for you!
I love what you guys аre uρ tοο.
