Good morning, I agree with you absolutely, our own seeds are adapted and it makes us independent. I harvested onion seeds last year and froze them after drying them. This way they last even longer. By the way, I learned this from DIYseeds - seeds are public domain - on the Internet. All the best! Ursula

I also collect from wild plants. Wild cress and mustard are really good to use.. 🙂

[@MrMarkar1959]

Excellent Advice as Usual. my biggest problem is mixing the Pepper Seeds!! mostly not labeling at all and thinking i will remember the Dried things name!

This is a must to becoming more self sufficient. So is having the tools and know how to fix things.

Just getting started so this was very interesting & informative. Thanks❤

Great suggestions. Thanks

Last year I purchased a certain variety of squash but what I got was a mixture of hybrid seeds. I saved seeds and replanted them. I now have three types I'm selecting out from the original pack. Might take a few plantings before I have developed heirloom quality.

Good stuff.

Just a suggestion. Some of my family puts their dried seeds in a sealed sandwich bag. And they write the date of bagging and the name of the plant on it with a marks-a-lot.

I have always bought plants in the past... With the situations in the world today I have been wanting to purchase seeds but now I definitely want do start saving seeds... Thank you for posting this video... I might have missed it in the past, but have you ever done a video on crop rotation ?

[@SurvivalHT]

Maybe in some of the very first post my dad may have spoken in it. He would rotate crops and livestock, but I don’t think that I have done one yet. I’ll put it on the to do list.

[@bigbob16]

Thank you ​@@SurvivalHT

When I went to save some squash seeds last year, some of the seeds were nicely plump while others were rather flat. Does that affect germination or plant vigor?

[@SurvivalHT]

Luck of the draw. I always plant several seeds in each cup so germination is not a problem but if the seed is under developments or drought stressed it is less likely to germinate

🐨👍

[@danshanshelley5139]

Is it the same process for any seeds or only certain ones?

[@SurvivalHT]

Some are different. I’ll be post examples of the ones that are different in the coming days

[@carllatta871]

Can you freeze dry the seeds as well ?

[@SurvivalHT]
