I am paasionate about seed saving. I recently wrote an article about some foods I plant to,start plants from. There's a book I reference pretty frequently called The Heirloom Life Gardener that you might check out. ☺
I wish I had room on my little plot to start some fruit trees. Someday!
Thank you. After buying a lot of new seeds and basically starting out from scratch, I need to learn how to harvest seeds on plants and herbs that I unknown to me...anything other than tomatoes, melons, squash, etc., the easy stuff. Anything I plant this year I am setting a few places just to go to seed.

The plants that don’t go to seed til the second year are the tricky ones for me... Cabbage, carrots... I tend to forget about them sometimes. Also herbs, they go to seed when I’m not looking and I lose when it drops to the ground, and so many of them don’t come back up on their own!
I’ll be making a post on all the seed I save as the growing season goes on. That’s a way off though! :)
