When the lettuce seeds are ready, I cut the entire flower top off, put it upside down in a paper bag and shake, shake, shake!! Open the bag, remove the flower top skeleton, and wha-la: a bag of fresh, new lettuce seeds!

Now more than ever, saving seeds is just as important as knowing how to grow the plant. Great video. I will be saving the seeds know that I know how to.

Very informative! My lettuce plants are at least 3 ft tall, bent over in the garden, and it's so tempting to remove them. But your video showed me to have patience. Thank you. Happy gardening.

I have never saved seeds from lettuce. Only from tomatoes. Going to have to try this. First time for everything.

Seed prices in my area are becoming almost 6 dollars per packet with only 30 seeds in them learning how to harvest the seeds from the plants is just as important on how to harvest the food from the plant always let three lettuce plants flower and seed every year and I find new little lettuce every year but I’m finally learning how to control the lettuce seed production
