Help! How do you dry seeds for the future? At a convention last year, I was given seeds from someone, and it was a cool & personal gift.

I'm talking about peonies, mostly. I love them. If they grew all summer, I'd fill my yard with them. I know that you plant them on September 13th (you don't know how close I came to being named Peony!), but is that the plant or the seeds? Help!!

I'm still killing off the renegade morning glories that killed a lot of my other plants in the front of the house, and I'm toying with trying a crape myrtle for the sunniest place of the back yard. I'd love to be like Kevin, and do some terracing, but frankly, I can't afford it.

Also, there's a horrible weed around here - my mother had part of her yard mulched, and it came in on that. The local conserventory (sp?) says that they're having a terrible time killing it, too. I've been told to cut it down when it's somewhat dry, spray Round Up on it, cover it all with newspaper (held down by rocks), then mulch if I want. I don't trust mulch anymore, so just getting that week killed will thrill me. Has anyone else heard about the newspaper bit?
