    Hi Andrea: How wonderful to harvest a bunch of the garden type sweet annie. I will be heading out to get some near me this weekend...I wondered when the best time would be to plant some of the seeds...for next season? Should I let them dry out first or place them in the ground now or in the spring? I have only harvested the wild type...Thanks,

    Hi Patti~
    I do both! I'll sprinkle some seeds now and let some plants scatter their own seeds. I'll also sprinkle some more seeds in the spring.

    Sweet Annie seems to have a mind of it's own and likes to grow where it's most "inconvenient"... like in front of the door or in between the walkway.... It also is stubborn and sometimes refuses to grow where I plant it. That's why I just keep spreading those seeds :)

    Andrea, I can smell it all the way to Missouri. Harvested what little I had about 3 weeks ago. Do you just dry yours or do you glycerin treat it to keep it soft and green? Love your Blog. Connie

    Hi Connie :)
    I just hang dry my sweet annie, although I like the preserved look too. Many years ago I played around with preserving Queen Anne's Lace. That comes out nice~
