MI Gardener is my choice of information regarding gardening. I can watch his videos for hours and hours. An incredible teacher. Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa!

Excellent! You are the only one that actually told me what to look for in finding the seeds. No one else said anything about the pollen, which makes sense now. I thought the pollen were the seeds at first. When your new to all of this, it makes it nice for someone like you to actually give a thorough explanation. Thanks so much!!

the process my grandfather used for separating seeds from husks is dropping them onto a sheet from about 3-4 feet, and have a fan blowing across them as they fall. The husks are so light that they blow away, leaving only seed.

You mean winnowing?

This is exactly what I needed and just in time!! Thank you soo much!

Awesome video! I appreciate the amount of detail since I'm a newbie. I understand a lot now. Answered many questions . Thank you.

Good and plenty of info on harvesting spinach seeds! Thank you!❤️

Great video! i'm planning on planting some spinache indoors.

the shake separation has been used for a long time, originating in separating cereal grains from the chaff. it's a old method that definitely is under utilized, great video.

I just love your videos!!! You are such a CUTIE PIE!!!!! I am in South Carolina and i'm thinking about my fall crops at the moment. Thanks for all the wealth of knowledge in every video. I have learned so much from watching you so keep em coming. Great job!!!

Thank you this video really explains the process. Very thourough and the blowing was awesome tip!

Excellent video and info on the heirloom requirement. Good work…..Donald

Love from Oregon and thanks for all the great info

When the debris from the seeds went flying around the camera, I automatically closed my eyes 😂 But thanks for this clear explanation!!

Awww.....Baby Gardner

Thanks for making this! I bought perpetual spinach and thought it'll just stay the same forever. Haha. It has now bolted and I didn't know what to do with it. But now I know!

Good explanation and example.

Thank you so much for this video! I just stumbled across your channel. Absolutely love your content. I understand that this video was made nine years ago but I was wondering if you were still doing the free seed thing…

Your so awesome dude. I love your attention to detail. Your opening scene reminded me of "Invasion of the body snatchers" when the people hatched out of the seed pods. lol. any how. keep up the great work.

I do something similar... On a windy day, I take a handful of spinach seeds, sprinkle them into a pan, and all the trash blows away and the seeds fall into the pan. Always looking forward to your next video!

Major help, thanks😁

so let it grow out then dry out then look for the seeds

“I shall never by spinach again”! ❤️🙏🎉🤯 A small space that grows and grows, can grow anywhere (pot on a patio possibly), likes sun or shade, and will give free seeds for life. Use fresh and then blanch/freeze for the winter. To top it off you will graciously give your harvest! ❤️🥹🥲 Thank you 🙏

hey Luke...I love all your vids and your attitude...but I must admit that the main thing that drew me to this vid is that cute doggy....hehe...Tony

Just pour the seeds from one pan into another pan in front of a fan or blow on the seeds as they fall from pan to pan. Many cultures have their product in a blanket and they flip the product into the air and re-catch it in the blanket during a mild breeze. This blows the chaff away.

That was so easy, I never knew that spinach seeds were harvested like that lol :-)

Thanks, this was helpful as I have some flowering spinach right now. Good quality HD video too, what camera is that if I may ask?

Nice video. what is your experience for storing the seeds. will they last through the winter and ready for spring plants. I read several times that spinach seeds to not store well.

My spinach is planted with other things that are still growing, so I can't hold out on water. I definitely see the seeds. Will they die off and start to dry out on their own once they reach a certain point, or is there a stage that I should pull them out of my garden and hang them upside down to dry? Love your videos!!!

very nice young man

So can you harvest tge spinach a couple of times then by the end let its grow out? And collect the seeds

Welp, thanks for that much :) The rest would be great to know if you get a chance as I've been in the market for a nice camera.

Would love some seeds but clearly this was a two years ago. Would gladly send you SASE. Let me know when you have some! Liked, subscribed! Great video!

Diana Smith Hill Thank you for subscribing. I hope you will find the channel as fun and as informative as I aim for.

Cool, thank you :)

Should I be trimming the leaves off?

Can you hang these to dry out?

thanks. helpful! i was thinking it was the flowers, but so small! solved :)

Nice vids

how about saving swiss chard seeds? i have some thats gone to seed, not sure how to harvest the seeds

Just let a plant go to seed and die, cut off the stems with the pods, put them in an open cardboard box (apple/banana etc from shops) to dry completely indoors a few weeks, when dry hand rub the pods together over newspaper, put the seeds and chaff in a round bowl, blow huff and puff away any chaff. Done. 1000s of seeds for yourself and to share.

Nice one matey. I love that there's an abundance of videos on the Web about gardening especially like yours that promote good ideas. Thanks for sharing your info. For small seeds I use a small hole colander (not sieve) to separate the seeds from most of the chaff over a large round curve sided bowl and then outside huff puff blow on the seeds in the bowl to remove the few small light weight bits of chaff that make it through the holes. It's ok if a few bits of chaff remain though. Up the gardeners !

I LOVE YOUR DOG! SHIH TZUS ARE THE CUTEST FREAKING DOGS!

So I misheard you and I cut down some ripe seeds that are too green. I thought that was what I was suppose to save. Can I let those green seeds dry in the sun and they will be okay? Or should I discard them and just get the mature seeds that I have?

Hi. My spinach bolted some time ago but hasn't dried out. I'd like to use the bed to grow more but its packed tight with green bolted spinach. Can I pull them out and dry them in a hot house and let the next self-seeded crop get on with growing? Cheers

Why pick out the twigs and green seed, I wouldn't think it would hurt to replant...

Winnowing

I was out in my garden this morning, and a coyote shot out from the woods and ran 20 feet away from me, picked up a dead chicken (I hadn't seen earlier), it must have killed before I went outside (neighbors chickens), and took off for the woods. This thing was as big as a medium sized dog. It would kill my small dog or cat, so they are now on leash, cat doesn't go out anymore. Please watch your small dog. Brighton Michigan.

How can I get some of your seeds? Spinach?
