Michael, I really haven't tried to save seeds. It appears that I have a never ending supply as long as my daughter works for Walgreens. She brought home 250 seed packs from their end of the spring garden section clean out. They cost a total of $2.50.
My heirloom experiment with Rutger tomato seeds began last fall. I picked off all the over ripe practically rotten tomatoes and pitched them into the raised bed that I plan on having tomatoes this year. I chopped them up a bit with a spade, sprinkled a little soil on them, and covered them with a light layer of straw. My hope is that they will sprout and grow as volunteers. Last spring I transplanted four volunteers from the garden where I had grown tomatoes the year before and they turned out great. If it works with tomatoes, I may try other vegetables as well.
Have a great heirloom seed saving day.
Hi David!
I bought the Survival Seed Vault this past year and have it sitting in my pantry. It's kind of an insurance policy, lol. I am saving seed, slowly but surely learning the ins and outs of it. I grow organic and mostly heirloom stuff.
I love the idea and I was close to buying something like this a few years ago, until I looked at what was inside. We have such difficult growing conditions in Wyoming, I knew at least half of the seeds in there wouldn't grow for me. I did just stumble on a site: seedstrust.com they have a bucket of seeds that perform well in high altitude and short season areas.
Can you tell us what store you visited? I haven't had any luck finding seeds in stock now. I went to a ranch supply store in my town this week, walked around looking for seeds, and when I didn't find any, asked the clerk. "Seeds?" she replied, dumbfounded. "What do you mean, seeds?" You know, for vegetables and flowers, I responded. "Sunflowers?" she asked. "Yeah, we've got roasted sunflower seeds -- they're in the snack aisle." Oh, I hope she's a new employee!
Jennifer, we saw them at Good Earth.
Through seed we can get the features of vegetables with various advantages. I need the benefits over hybrid seed & non hybrid seeds. If you need the tips over survival seeds then just have touch on it.
