It makes it hard to sit back in my little house and pretend that nothing bad could ever happen to my neck of the woods. I pray and hope that my family and I never experience something tragic, but if we do, I want to be prepared!
Hometown Seeds sent me this package of Survival Seeds. I desperately want to open this triple layered mylar bag, because I secretly have a love affair with seeds. I love to hold the seed packages, read the description, and look at the seeds. But, this package of seeds is going straight to the freezer which will keep them good for up to 10 years! This will come in handy not only if there is a natural disaster making it difficult to get seeds, but also in the case of a more personal disaster, such as my husband getting laid off or financial struggle. If we were having financial problems, what better way to save money than to grow your own food? This way, we will be ready with all the seeds we need to grow a great garden.
This package comes with enough seeds to plant 3/4 an acre, and an instructional booklet. They are non-hybrid seeds as well, which is the only way to garden...in my opinion.
For more tips on how to get prepared, visit Homestead Revival, she has some other great ideas!

Wow! That list was long! I had no idea their were that many already this year. It's a good reminder that things do happen and preparedness is wise!
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning Homestead Revival. I hope it encourages us all to be leaders in our communities even if it is as simple as putting aside a little extra to help a neighbor.
I think survival seeds are a great idea. However, you have to admit that Stephen Colbert is hilarious. See
