Autumn is near: it's time to harvest, but also to sow the new plants for the winter.
 Saving seeds
Remember to save seeds, to use them the next spring, or to give them away.
I harvested the seeds from the okra pod in the picture, and I will grow it again next year.
 I loved the papalo, is an aromatic herb from South America, that can be added in hot sauces, salads and sandwiches.
Its pods are now opened and I harvested them to sow them next spring.
 During September you can save chili seeds, and continue to harvest and store chili peppers.
