Why Save Seeds?

[@KokoraLife]

Seeds are the key to life!

Great video :)

[@emmavalahu5086]

Great reasons here. The one that resonates most is the adaptability of the seeds year after year to our soil type. I live in a dry area and the soil is very clayey (if that's even a word). And I notice that seeds often struggle to grow. Perhaps if I harvest the seeds of the plants that do grow well, I can save myself a lot of disappointment.

You can also use extra saved seeds to grow sprouts, micro or baby greens indoors-- especially in the winter.

I would love to see you continue making these excellent and informative videos.

You're the best, thanks for the kind words! We have a lot more in the pipeline, just working on production process now.

I’ve been safe and seats for years. I have never been able to figure out how to do. Cabbage broccoli cauliflower. I live in the state of Pennsylvania zone five. I read that they were by annual. I’m not sure how you get them to make seeds.

I made sure to buy beans that grow in the Summer and the winter. I'm not going to starve when they shut off the food supply

I expected a discussion about the "legality" of planting seeds because seed sellers restrict the practice of saving seeds. Yes, it's not really enforceable for home owners, but it's an issue that should be discussed.

Not if you start with heirloom seeds.

[@chrisdonovan8795]

@@JM.5387 That sounds right, but I think there's a what if scenario where a commercial plant can cross with your plants. Now, you're saving seeds that contain "their" property. It's ridiculous, but I've heard it come up on other gardening/homesteading videos.

@@chrisdonovan8795 we've heard of that as well, not sure how common it is for small/medium scale growers to face legal action and it's not the focus of this video, but might be a good topic to potentially cover in the future. 👍

[@JM.5387]

@@chrisdonovan8795 this is mainly an issue for commercial growers, and only if a patented transgene is identified in their field. I've heard of it happening with Roundup-ready varieties. Seems sketchy even then. (You could equally well argue that the Monsanto pollen contaminated their field.) As you say, it would be unenforceable for a small grower or gardener.

[@chrisdonovan8795]

@@JM.5387 That sounds right. I watched an excellent video that spoke of the relatively recent shift of promoting seed sharing (even by the government!) to this draconian ownership of seed varieties. I'm not an alarmist, but this is potentially scary stuff.
