Saving Seeds at Home with Vandana Shiva

[@neelscoertse5106]

I just harvested a Malawi pumpkin at 15kg. I saved 563 seeds from that pumpkin. Just think of this fact: it grew from ONE seed and it spawned 563 seeds. I sowed 10 foot long beans; all ten sprouted. We ate beans and I harvested 850+ seeds from those ten stalks. My one friend counted his corn seeds grown in his back yard and it yielded about 60'000 seeds. That is nature in your back yard! Go for it! Thank you for this video and for you working tirelessly to promote even just one plant on your kitchen window sill. I am living in Sandton, South Africa.

[@gauripanicker6661]

I started saving seeds from my school days, because we had a chapter in our hindi textbook, where a granny keeps throwing seeds from the train window, when asked what was she trying to do... she says, I have sowed the flower seeds everywhere. Now when I return after few months, these track sides will be full of beautiful flowers and bees... That was the most beautiful lesson I ever learnt. So happy to see this video... :D

[@janny7120]

Just realised I have all the knowledge I need to grow a garden and save seeds from my memories as a child watching my mother working in the garden growing food for the family..and those memories are lovely 😍

[@katjacatschivo7906]

This year I decided to grow more food in our garden. More than we need so we could share it with family, friends and those in need. Of course I was thinking of save seeds for next year but after watching your video my plan got a different touch to it. I am decided to share my seeds and even found a place in our town for changing seeds. Isn’t it amazing? Thank you for inspiration.

[@lynitakin2742]

Thank you for pioneering this campaign to save the earth and all its God given goodness and beauty .

[@twosongs7396]

I love you and all you do, Dr. Shiva. You’re one of my two heroes, the other being Dr. Nikola Tesla. I’ve been saving seeds thanks to you since 2000 so 21 years now.

[@JD-sb7mq]

This made my day, never seen a lufa and I did not know about carrot flowers. I have been saving seeds from the fruit we buy and started composting. We don't have a back yard or anything but my mom has a few flowers and other plants in pots. I take some of the veggies and seeds to the nearby park ☺️

[@HD-Australia]

I love this video, thank you. I live in Australia where our climate is like California. I will begin to grow food and save seed this year 2020.

[@flowergrowersmith449]

Apart from the sinister aspects of this, when you save your own seed, you know it is fresh (so will germinate much more reliably) and is also adapted to your little microclimate. Plus it's very satisfying and fun to do.

[@valpgarcia]

Such a privilege indeed to have Dr. Shiva at your Growing Home and give the introductory presentation on this video! Thank you for your instruction on saving seeds. I'm a Seed Saver now! And I'll start sharing seeds with family & friends!

[@lynettemokgano9009]

Would you be open to swapping seeds?

[@salompita]

Omg I love this lady it’s so true I already started planting and gardening

[@InnerBouquet]

Thank you! I love this video and will now make harvesting my own seeds a part of me life rituals. What a fantastic feeling I got from watching this!

[@salesse84]

Wonderful video! Wonderful lesson. I believe this world, and all the precious plants were a gift to us from the first garden and should be respected, cared for and preserved with the same love by which they were created. We must do our part as caretakers, not as simply takers. Bless you for teaching!

[@sravaninekkanti3546]

You are awesome ma'am. I salute you for your precious work you do to save the mother nature. I wish I could join you. Will support you forever ma'am.

[@martinjohnson4405]

Thank-you. What a great introduction to saving seeds.

[@AcornHillHomestead]

You are such an inspiration to us all. Your information is so needed today. This year I am saving heirloom seeds from three plants in my garden for the first time. Next year I will save some more of my main crops until I no longer have to buy my seeds. I will share those seeds. So very exciting.

[@aw3866]

The storage part of this video is so perfect. It's the one thing I was never sure about. Great tips about how to do a drying rack and about adding herbs to the jars. Great for my extra basil at the end of season!

[@אור.א-י7ה]

Thank you, I'm starting my small garden, I'm sure many do that during this pandemic lockdown. Indeed this is the best way the world can go back to true health

[@jessicamars5722]

Gaia in human form...the seed is the continuum of life so are her ideas, thoughts sown as blessed seeds. I do plant everything but I had never saved seeds before as I believe life to be self replenishing. We will always find seeds everywhere [even Nature saves seed] and Vandana is simply beautiful.

[@helenkirby1823]

I having been saving seeds for years. & grow my own tomato's lettice beans strawberries. Etc. Love doing that.

Pure wisdom. Pure inspiration. Insight & encouragement from one of the wisest women on our planet. Modern humans are destroying the Earth's ecosystems at an accelerating pace, either doing it directly themselves or indirectly as others do it for them. The beginning of the path toward sustainable living & planetary stewardship needs to begin with the basics: food, water, shelter and energy. Of these, food is the first great opportunity to learn about the truth of Nature & the plant kingdom: from one food plant comes an abundance of healthy, natural food & a windfall of additional seeds. Out of one, many...

Regenerative Gardening with Farmer Rishi You make ALL the sense! Thank you! My country started with seeds... agriculture, the kibbutz. We grew food in the desert and we created the water drip system, developed ways to save and clean toxic water which is now helping millions in distress, people going through natural disasters around the world. It all started with a seed! Do check KZbin if you are not familiar with Israeli Water Technology and our agriculture as well.

[@swims-in-money6672]

I’d suggest people watch Myles Power, he made a video about Vandana Shiva and how her anti gmo activism has led to famine. Nothing wrong with avoiding GMOs on an individual level, but at a systemic level (laws banning them for instance) has pretty rough consequences.
