No, she does not even garden.

Tee hee.

I haven't done this myself but the link below runs through the whole process, hope this helps.

Thanks, mtnrdredux, but I do believe that mom is spelled a different way :) Thanks to you too, aftermidnight, for the link. I found another one which seems to imply that the seeds should be found at the bases of the petals. After tearing apart some of my shriveled mum flowers, I didn't find any seeds, but my plants probably just don't have time to make them here in zone 5.

Mtrdredux- My mum gives me seeds every now and then. She's the one who started it all lol
I started a few mums from seed this spring, they did well in spite of my abuse and even put out a few blooms. Had I planted them out of their four inch pot prior to September I'm sure they would have clumped up and put on a great show, but I'm sure they will for next year now that they're in the ground.
Maybe three years ago I had mum seedlings coming up that had self sown off potted mums siting on the front steps. The parents died but the seedlings bloomed beautifully the next year!
I might even have a few seeds leftover in the packet I sowed this spring. They're not all that small.
