I have grown mint, sweet and spicy basil, lemon verbena, thyme, lemon balm; how to collect the seeds?

I have started collect the basil seeds, when before it flowers i take the seeds off the stems and store them in baggies, i have not notices any other seeds on the other herbs and i am confused on how to get them to grow next year so i do not have to buy the plants again, any advice?

Wait for the plants to bolt and the flowers to dry up. Then, collect them. Bring them inside, separate the seeds from the buds and store in ziplock bags in a cool, dry place
Reply:some are annuals and perenials i have no idea which one comes back but you almost have to open up the flower and look insid for what looks like a seed sometime they can be attached and you can cut them off but i'm not sure if it will regrow or not
