Somebody once said, buy a package of dried 13 bean soup mix. think of all the different beans that are in that package and how many you could have a whole acre full of beans, lentils, black beans, navy beans, lima beans, etc. peas and so on

I did that this spring. February cold tolerance test. The plants were of course stunted by the cold, but I got lots of dry bean plants and a few chickpeas. No lentils.

Peppercorns from the store likely will not germinate, although it's worth a try. They are picked green for black pepper. Ripe pepper is your white or red peppercorns (although sometimes the red peppercorns are another plant entirely).

Another thing to remember: you can propagate a lot of things from cuttings, too. I went to the local farmer's market, and a woman there was selling sprigs of spearmint. I took the cuttings home, trimmed the stems, kept them in water for a while, then planted them in my garden (making sure to keep them well watered), and I now have a small plot of spearmint plants growing.

The spice aisle is a great place to look. Celery Seed, etc. Also , I have grown sprouts from lentils indoors during the winter for a boost in nutrition. 😎👍🏻🇺🇸

Our asian market here sell seeds so try to check if you have one in your area. I grow my own bean sprouts from the mung beans I bought in the asian market and also grow microgreens from other beans. I bought different kinds of seeds during the pandemic for me to try growing and I learn to save seeds from the plants I grow in the garden. The seeds from the garden grow well better than the store bought seeds and it will save you a lot of money. You can steam or boil sweet potato leaves just like spinach. Day lily flower is edible if you have some in the garden. It taste better than other green leafy vegetables. You can also eat the dandelion leaves just like spinach and the flowers you can use for tea. There are weeds that are edible like clover, stinging nettle which is very nutritious, plantain (not the banana😊), and etc. Maybe buy a medicinal book to check what weeds that are edible and at the same time medicinal. I hope this helps.

[@icecreamladydriver1606]

A lot of people don't realize that you can eat the leaves of the sweet potato as they are not related to the nightshade real potatoes. The leaves are very nutritious just don't over pick them. Also beat leaves are loaded with nutrition.

[@readyornot316]

Great info! Last summer I threw cantaloupe rinds and seeds into my compost and forgot about them. This spring I used some of that compost in my raised beds. I now have 5 healthy bonus cantaloupe plants that I never planted. Also, every year I plant potatoes from sprouted grocery-store bagged potatoes. I have the best luck with potatoes grown locally (as opposed to those shipped to us from big farms in Idaho for example). This has also worked for me with carrots.

If you can't swallow or chew up whole garlic cloves, just chop up into "pill sizes" and take with a gulp of water. Consider adding a little brewer's yeast daily (tsp or so in a little water, tea, coffee etc). Has good b-vitamins which are also supposed to repel the bugs.

Sesame and chia will also grow from seed. STRONGLY suggest everyone be looking at big box stores right now for clearance seeds, and about Sept/Oct start hitting up the online seed sellers (Experimental Farm Network, Baker Creek, Sandhill Preservation, Seed Savers Exchange [the member exchange is free to join and has a TON more offerings than SSE itself], Trade Winds Fruit, Matt's Peppers, 13 Peppers are all ones I've ordered from- remember VARIETY IS YOUR FRIEND AND YOU NEED FLOWERS TOO NOT JUST FRUITING PLANTS) and get a jump start on building up seed reserves. Don't get caught with your pants down ya'll, it's exactly where they want you- unprepared and terrified.

[@Blynn-md4dx]

Box stores here LITERALLY throw the seeds away instead of clearance or donating to a shelter. Throw them into an enclosed compactor.

[@abagailrhea3932]

@@Blynn-md4dx I've never known them to do that with seeds around here, they absolutely do it with everything else. Somebody on social media needs to @ these places and ask why they're throwing so much away and adding to the landfills since all these stores are owned by leftist corporations. I work for fedex, and have done pickups of HUNDREDS of lbs of perfectly fine seasonal items (candles, decor, furniture, ect) that the stores are sending to a corporate warehouse to be crushed, when by their own admission they could throw it in the dumpster out back. So not only are they wasting product, they're wasting gas and releasing all those scary "greenhouse gases" into the atmosphere they claim to be cutting down on.

[@solanisomeni]

You can plant nearly any vegetable from the store that has the "root" part still intact. Such as lettuce, celery and more. Just cut off the lettuce or celery parts, leaving about 2 inches of greenery on the root end, plant the "root" and new lettuce leaves or celery stalks will grow. Cut and they'll come again. Carrot you can also plant. Take the top of the carrot which the greenery has grown from, plant it (greenery side up) and no, it will not grow you a new carrot but, it will grow the greenery. That greenery is highly nutritious. You can also gather seeds for new carrots this way, if you let it bolt. Onions if you have those that have been in your pantry for to long and have really started to shoot up green sprouts. Plant the whole onion in your garden and it will continue to grow and shoot up "flower stalks" which you can harvest seed from. Or, if you grow onions like I do, I'll let a couple of onions stay in the ground over winter and next season, they will produce flowers/seed.

[@Fritz0616]

You can also cut the root end of a store bought onion, put toothpicks around it and suspend it in a container of water but the trick is to just have the roots touch the water, not the onion itself or it will rot or at least this is what happened to me.. it will grow new sprouts that you can plant so basically you never really need to buy onions again if living in a warm climate that you can grow year round.

[@richardholt3191]

My first garden I went to Walmart and bought all the different dried beans. Incredible germination rate with all producing beans and then following years producing beans. Same thing with squashes, pumpkins, and peppers. Bought the vegetables, saved the seeds and grew new vegetables and saved there seeds. Now I've done the same with garlic and Potatoes. The process works for corn. Buy the sweet corn, dry in a dehydrator and plant. Corn though only had a 65% or so germination rate. I have sure saved a lot of money on seeds

Wonderful ideas that you're sharing here. I was finding this strange plant sprouting up all over my yard so out of curiosity dug one up. It was a peanut. So what happened is the squirrels were taking the prime morsels from the feed store peanuts I was giving them and buried them all over the place. When seeds are hard to come by I'll also allow what many people call weeds to take off. Many of these so-called weeds are either edible, medicinal, nitrogen fixers, nutrient accumulators or pollinator host plants. Good video. Happy to have found your channel and will be watching more.

And it's cheaper then powder milk at the store. And yes you can use the seeds from fruits and vegetables on the store. Even the , boy I'm doing bad today, The generated foods. The things is you won't get the same tomatoes. You will get one it a mutation of. Keep saving the seeds. By the third time you will be getting the same over and over. .

Thanks for pointing this out. As you say, some seeds from hybrid and/or commercial brands (grocery brands are often different due shipping requirements, etc.) might be sterile, and if they do germinate and produce, might not always be as flavorful as fruits and vegetables from heirloom seeds. Heirloom seeds give the best overall results for flavor and nutrition, but often don't ship well. So it's a trade-off. But many store brands are just fine. Butternut squash was my best squash . Red taters will still be great, for example. Sweet potatoes, same. I even have a pomegranate tree now from a grocery brand fruit i popped open. 😆. Most of those sprouts I planted died early.....but.....well....lol...

Because you are inspiring others, I'd like to inspire you. Hope you like the poem. Battle The Beast The night came quicker than usual, as it caught me by surprise Before I found some shelter, the darkness dimmed my eyes My panicked heart was racing, my legs instinctively took flight I aimlessly ran in circles, in the horror of blackest night In the distance I could hear it, the sound of a terrible beast I could hear its claws scratching, I could see the flash of its teeth There was no way to outrun it, for it traveled on all fours So, faced with just one prospect, I turned and faced the noise The blade I held, had a faint sparkle illumined by distant stars The beast knew I would use it, as it stalked me from afar My wait drug on for an eternity, as I firmly stood my ground But soon it would be over, for I heard approaching sounds Throughout my life, I purposely planned, to never travel at night It was the only way to miss the beast and avoid a deadly fight Yet, life has a sense of justice, not willing to let me cheat those plans From facing the beast who stalks me, from facing what haunts a man A silhouette sprang out of the blackness, striking hard the first blow I vollied back with the tip of my blade, causing the beast to moan Collapsing together, mortally wounded, the dawn began to break I saw the beast that had attacked me, it was myself, in whom I faced Battle The Beast By William Cooper From the book, Coop's Corner Collection Inspirational Stories and Poems Check out the first poem, (Lisa Moo Moo Marie) turned into a country song.

Yeah. When she says store potatoes. She doesnt mean just rinse them. But scrub them And my experience. It about 1/10 the growers. But 1/10 of 40 potatoes is 4. And those 4 will give you 25 to 100 lbs of tator. People will tell you many ways to grow tators. I buy a 30 gallon trash can. Use a cross tip screwdriver. Punch some holes in the bottom of it. Fill it 3/4 up with 1/4 rock Put 3 tators in it. Fill a inch above tator with same rock. Put 2 gallons of water slowly into it. Then every other day water with 1/2 of water. After they break through. Once a week i give a " liquid fertilizer" watering 1 quart Which is a mix of cow dun and water. I start these in January. And 0ctober 1st i stop watering. November 1st i harvest and let dry in a dark place. They are ready to be used anytime after October. I get about 60 lbs per trash van. Now if using store tators. Put 10 to 15 in. What doesn't grow is food for ones that do.

Hopi Blue corn is a dry land corn that tolerates desert conditions. Plant in a clump and ring the soil around it so it has a little basin around it to hold water. If you have to water, make it a deep soak so the roots go down instead of hanging around the surface. Plant squash around to help shade the soil and retain moisture. And a couple pole beans in every hill for nitrogen.

@@bendy6626 yes 3 sisters. But what is the root depth? I only have 4 inches to 12 inches of soil before it solid rock. The depth would be nice so I can make it possible. So far you haven't told how it is more droit tolerant then any other corn. Where I am. I can soak the soil at day break. Before it's sundown it's dry as baby powder. I have not tried hoping corn ( I assume that's what I called Indian corn) it's blue, red orange white. Last time I planted it was many years ago. But I'm willing to do some experience with with it to see how much water it needs. Will be about February when I start. Might as well check everything. How soon I can plant. How much water is enough . I mean if it's grows easier then Dent corn. I'm sold. Any corn is a good stable and animal feed. I'm always willing to learn something new. Lol It not like I don't have the land to check this out. That I do have. When I say plant some in February. I will be planting some in February March April and May. If I can find a.

You separate the cloves and bury each one in the dirt. Then water and wait about 10 months.

[@karenvastarelli1789]

Separate all the cloves, stick them in the ground in the fall about 4-6 inches apart. Here in the north we put all our bulbs 4-6 six inches deep with a little mulch besides to keep them from freezing too much- you may not need to put them that deep (2-3 in?) depending on where you are. When the weather warms up they’ll grow. When the tops start to get brown and flop over, it’s time to pull them up. Let them dry in a warm shady spot for a couple of weeks then trim off the roots, the tops and brush off any extra dirt. The drying helps the garlic store longer but you can use it fresh out of the ground too! Super easy! Hope you try it. Blessings.

Pro tip: Grapes dont grow from seeds. They grow from vines. When you buy grapes, they come on twigs. Try sticking that twig in the ground and it just might grow and turn into a beautiful, fruitful grape vine over the years.

[@SurvivalHT]

Great tip! Thanks

[@bendy6626]

Concords and other seeded grapes CAN grow from seeds. So can apples, but you'll have a few years to wait for fruits. If you know someone with grape plants, ask for a few trimmings in the early spring when the vines are cut back. A pencil sized piece with 3 or 4 buds on it will grow a new vine. The "down" end should be the part closest to the main stem. Just leave one or two buds above the surface. Poke where you want it to grow or put in a planter for one year, then plant in permanent location.

Ive seen times that 99% of the seeds made tomatoes in this example. Dont be looking for great, dutch or lemon tomatoes. I just made up the names for this. Thats any hybred seen Most the time hybreds are made to make bigger " fruits" not even for taste. By the Third seeds they are what you will always get. Year before last.

And last year i had a just in case event. This year i planted NOTHING. Next year i will plant again. From produce i ate in 2012 thats i dried the seeds and have been growing, planting and drying again and again. Here is what i do. Let use the pumpkins. I dry all seeds. Then from each pumpking i save 10 seeds. The rest i eat. Like sunflower seeds. Now i should be better.but i just put them all in a ziplock bag each year. When i plant i put 5 seeds per hole. If they all grow. They all grow. If i have a place the dont grow. Then i transplsnt from someplace that has multible. Now this may sound like i grow hundreds of pumpkin plants. No in fact i grow like 6 plant groups. I dont need a lot. That gives me lots. I dont count because once they start producing ripe. I start using. And i lose a good number of produce . I normally just write off the loses. But last year. I walk out there and one day i had flowering. The next. All plants were ate. What followed was a large amount of mice and snakes. They are gone now i think. Now at this same time i had new neighbors. . They disappeared just as the mice came. Lol. I think the mice came with them. See there are mice here. But they are the Kangaroo type. These were not them. The Kangaroos are prey to coyotes. They dont come to my " garden area" because of my dogs. I still have not seen one come close. On the other hand ive caught the invaders. And some i dont know if you call them mice. Pretty big for mice. Like i said i think they came with the neighbors. And i think one day thier mice called in the snakes. And there was a rattlers to visit. One day they were there in thier tent. The next they were gone. They just got in thier truck and drove away. They left thier tent and the little they had. Some /most people just can't make it off grid. They think everything just magically happens. Through the years ive meet many. And none stay. Its like the old poineers of yesteryear. Very few stayed.

Our cats take care of the snakes, mice, grubs, grasshoppers and other critters. Used to be they'd bring me 3 snakes a day. Knock on wood, they haven't brought one snake this summer but it has taken them years to make a dent in the population and you know there are more out there.
