aye jacque, ive been going around the garden the last while collecting seeds, its great when you can grow them yourself.
ive given some to my sister as she is just starting to get into this gardening lark and was amazed at how much i grow here myself, saves a fortune on buying seeds.
my foxgloves seeds shot up, wee seedlings now so she took some of them home with her too.

The foxgloves may not come their true colour from seed. But when they get several inches tall, check the midrib on the back of the leaves - if it's got a purple flush, it's going to have purple flowers; if not, it's a white-flowered plant

We don't have 'automatic' here, Marguerite, it would be good, but no - we usually have to collect seeds or buy packets each year. Me, I must go and collect the seeds of my lovely yellow Aquilegia, I saw that its seed pods were brown yesterday.
