I buy way too many plants and grow many from seed I've bought or received from friends, but I've never really tried to save seeds until this year.
My specific question right now is, how do harvest rudbeckia hirta seed? Do I need to protect the flower heads of those I wish to harvest? And how do you tell when rudbeckia seed is ready to harvest? I guess that's more than one question!
Also...Can anyone recommend sites and/or books which show what various plants look like when they are ready for their seed to be harvested, what the seed looks like for the particular plant, and how the new seeds should be stored? Most sites I've seen just say "propagate by division or by seed" or some other generalization.
TIA!
