Saving Seeds From Your Garden ~ It’s Seed Saving Season!
From knowing when to harvest to learning how to process and store your seeds, we’re breaking down the simple, rewarding art of saving your own seeds—and showing you how to get started! 🌱
We are digging into one of our favorite gardening skills: saving your own seeds! 🌱
We’re talking about why seed saving matters—from saving money and preserving favorite varieties to growing plants that become increasingly adapted to your own garden and local environment.
- Easy crops for beginner seed savers
- When seeds are ready to harvest
- The difference between wet and dry seeds
- How to harvest, process, and properly store your garden seeds
We also get into some of the trickier aspects of seed saving, including cross-pollination, biennial crops, and why a little planning in the spring can make a big difference come harvest time.
Whether you’ve never saved a seed before or you’ve been doing it for years, I hope this episode inspires you to start small, save a few seeds, and discover just how simple—and rewarding—this practice can be.
Your best place to store seeds? In the soil. Keep planting, keep saving, and keep growing! 🌻
