Saving Seeds - Simple and Inexpensive

The cost of food is increasing, the unlabelled content in our foods are starting to scare us, the pesticides on our food are a worry, and buying organic isn't always an option, our solution; grow our own....where possible.  Sourcing seeds is now becoming an issue, with border restrictions on some tubers or finding 'pure' seed vs hybrid or frankinseeds, what can a gardener do? Well save your seed.  It is actually better to save your seed from the point of view that the variety you grew, grew well on your land and is therefore a good candidate for selection in saving to replant next year.  The other real benefit is you don't have to buy seeds, saving your money and the research to find the 'right' seeds. 

Pictured at left is a selection of some of the seeds we are saving this year so far carrot seeds, turnip seeds and spinach seed.  To learn more about seed saving visit Seed Savers.

Happy Seed saving.
