If you want good, strong seed for your vegetable garden, let at least one plant for each variety go to seed in an inconspicuous spot in your garden, and collect the seed. This is a great time to plan for that in places where the cold weather plants are meeting the heat: lettuces, herbs maybe a bit later in the summer (dill, cilantro, basil, summer savory, etc.)
You can also keep the seeds from things you buy at the store--squashes, tomatoes, potatoes (pieces that are sprouty and not good to eat anymore), not seeds), peppers etc. It's nice compost, and free plantings too!
