How do you save the seeds from your marigolds for next year?

I heard you save the dried top do you pick them as a full live flower a dry indoors or I was thinking a shoe box with wax paper? Pick when dead not sure?

How do you save the seeds from your marigolds for next year?
Get an airtight jar or bottle-like a prescription bottle that's clean and put the seeds in that. Wait til the flower is dead and the center will have the seed in it. The flower has to grow through its complete cycle before it will seed. You'll be able to tell the seeds-long slender and brown. Remember it can be pulled from the middle.
Reply:When the flower is quite dead and dry remove the seeds. Store them in a little zip lock bag or a small envelope.
