Have you ever wondered how the seed in your packets was actually produced? Interested in learning how to save seed from your celosia plants? Today, Lisa and Layne are joined by Emily Nekl of Fuggles Flowers to discuss her experience this past year growing 'Texas Plumes' celosia for seed production. Emily walks us through the entire process, from starting the seed to harvesting, drying, and cleaning. Whether you are curious about how seed production works or are interested in saving seed yourself, Emily gives us an interesting insider's look at the process from start to finish.
