Select 5-10 of the biggest, healthiest looking onions you've grown and don't eat them! (Hard I know!). These will have the best genetic to save seed from. Allow these onions to overwinter in situ (in mild areas) or bring them inside in areas that get hard frosts. In the spring allow them to set flowers and for the seeds to form, at this point the flower heads with go brownish and papery. Cut the entire heads as the flowers start to dry but before seeds drop - this can be helped by tying a mesh bag over the seed heads to collect falling seeds. Seeds should be firm and black when ripe. Crumble the seed heads from the stalks, remove as much of the chaff as possible and allow to dry fully inside for a few days and them label, package and date. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWatch a video on seed saving from onions (Allium cepa) \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=e5IBtcX-p4c\"\u003ehere \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to send seed back: \u003c\/strong\u003ePlease label all seed with variety, type, date and your contact, if you didn't get a chance to fill out our online data collection form, you can also send us a few lines about how it grew for you\/flavour etc. Please aim to send back 2 tablespoons of dried seed or more so that we can continue to share with network members.

Because they cross so easily, it is best to allow only one type of B. oleracea to flower at any one time. When growing for seed saving, a large gene pool is needed. Allow at least 10 (preferably 20) healthy plants to flower if you plan to save seed - bear in mind, they do get big when in flower so allow plenty of space. Only save seed from the biggest, healthiest looking plants (it can be tempting to harvest these for food but the strong genetics are much needed in seed saving so allow them to flower instead) compost\/eat any that bolt. Most B. oleracea flower and set seed in their second year. Allow the seed pods to form on the plant and begin to turn brown. Cut whole branches as they turn brown but before seeds start to drop and bring them inside to hang and dry fully. Processing - once fully dry crumble the seeds from their casings and pick large pieces of chaff out, don't worry about cleaning them too thoroughly though, we have a seed cleaning machine here and can do the rest. From 10 plants, you should have TONNES of seed, so share with seed networks, family, friends and keep some back for sprouting and microgreens.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of plants to save seeds from:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e An absolute minimum of twenty brassica plants is needed to maintain good genetic diversity and avoid inbreeding having negative impacts on the plants, eighty to a hundred plants is much more desirable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Insect pollinated and growing this seed crop is a great support to local pollinators.\u003c\/span\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to send seed back:\u003c\/b\u003e Please label all seed with variety, type, date and your contact.

Allow at least 10 (preferably 20 - 30) healthy plants to flower if you plan to save seed - bear in mind, they do get big (around 1m tall with a 30-50cm spread) when in flower so allow plenty of space and thin any overcrowding if needed. Most \u003cem\u003eB. rapus\u003c\/em\u003e flower and set seed in their second year, though if sown early in the year they may flower in the first year of growth - be aware that bolting under stressful (hot and dry conditions) is not desirable - the plants should be big and healthy for seed saving.
