@CookingwithCatLover0330منذ 4 سنوات I never thought about the plants that you have to wait for the seeds. I love onions! I buy seeds, and plants to put in my small garden now. When we finally id="hidden2" class="buttons"> move into the country, I will have a bigger garden and have to rethink how I manage it. Thank you! ....وسعت

@ModernRefugeeمنذ 4 سنوات I’ve dedicated space for seed production this year. I have onions, carrots, parsnips, cabbage, spinach, and radishes all flowering out for seed right now. Largest seed crop I have ever tried. 8

@fallenangelwi25منذ 4 سنوات We can't afford to buy food currently so our garden is to help us eat this year (a family of 6) and make seeds for future gardens 5

@sherryakutaمنذ 4 سنوات I just want to express to you how much of a help and blessing you have been to me!! Every video is full of gold. The way you communicate and teach is exactly id="hidden4" class="buttons"> what I need. Thank you so much!! Sending love from Ontario Canada ❤️ ....وسعت

@lindat2525منذ 4 سنوات Good point. I knew my raspberry canes were biennial fruit producers, but hadn't considered leaving some root veggies in the ground to harvest the seeds in the 2nd year.

@RoguePreparednessمنذ 4 سنوات It's good to know that biennials will grow seed, that is definitely also what I want. I want to save seeds and also want things to keep plants that keep growing back.

@TXJan0057منذ 4 سنوات Thanks for the info. We don't have much of a winter so I don't usually think of things like this. It is interesting I have a couple of basile plants id="hidden7" class="buttons"> that over wintered and went straight to seed in the spring maybe more plants have that imperative than we even realize. ....وسعت 1

@jemmiestone5731منذ 4 سنوات Great info, thank you. I did not realize about the biennials. You all stay healthy and safe. God Bless Y'all.

@melodytenisch6232منذ 4 سنوات Thank you! Good video and I learned a couple things. I am a seed-saved; I keep everything I possibly can. Even old seeds usually partially sprout or take id="hidden8" class="buttons"> a little longer too. My garden's doing pretty good but wished I would've planted more veggies in a small area I didn't make time for. I may yet! Blessings.✋ ....وسعت 1

@BittyBooBrownمنذ 4 سنوات Great info. I normally don't save many seeds but this year I am letting some things go to seed. I figure if I let one plant of each thing go to seed that should give me more than enough seeds for next year. 1

@kratz57xمنذ 4 سنوات As always, a wealth of info. Here's my gardening dilemma. I harvest often, collect and plant ALL my seeds. 9mm, .45ACP, 300BLK and 12ga seeds are id="hidden10" class="buttons"> most prevalent. No matter how hard I try my seeds won't sprout let alone take root, I'm constantly having to buy more "viable" seeds. Any suggestions? ....وسعت 7

@josephinecronin1195منذ 4 سنوات Also getting into perennials- kale and spinach varieties and yacon.

@jackpinesavage1628منذ 4 سنوات It's nice to hear the birds singing in the background. I appreciate the information about biannual plants.

@oldnanzمنذ 4 سنوات This was going to be my first year saving seeds now I think I’ll do more reading about it thank you 1

@Jomama02منذ 4 سنوات Young people today don't know about a lot of vegetables that aren't readily in the stores. Like rutabaga, turnips, parsnips, leeks, rhubarb. All of which I love especially rutabagas and turnips! Yum. 1

@sunnybelisle4007منذ 4 سنوات Thank you so much for this heads-up info, PP. I never thought of this before as it's always been so easy just to buy the seed packets every year. Times they are a-changin'. :-\ :-D <3

@rebekahdubois9645منذ 4 سنوات Thank you so much! I just found your channel when searching abt canning. This will be my first year to try to can and you have taught me lots just with one video. Please keep sharing your knowledge :)
@

@marygallagher3428منذ 4 سنوات Very good points! So far I have only saved heirloom tomato seeds :-)
@

@deeleb5064منذ 4 سنوات If you have the space you could use just one bed for seeds. Plant at least 3 or 4 or transplant 3-4 the BEST plants of each specie in that bed just for id="hidden14" class="buttons"> seeds. You should collect seeds from at least 3 plants and mix them for better diversity. Seeds in a package are never from just one plant. ....وسعت 2

@HuplesCatمنذ 4 سنوات Hum. You using power point for thumbnails? i will have to try that
Another great video that actually helps me. Thanks PP!

@coloradopackratprepperمنذ 4 سنوات I didnt realize that. I had onions that i didnt pull up first year n im assuming went to seed the second year. Then disappered. I assumed voles ate them. id="hidden15" class="buttons"> Now i kno!!!!! I guess i thought they would come up every year!!!! ....وسعت 3

@barbaranissen9300منذ 4 سنوات First year gardening here. I tried to save seeds from my spinach but failed they seemed to never dry and get soggy. I also have pea pods drying on the vine. Hopefully I’ll have a better outcome
@

@mackenziedrakeمنذ 4 سنوات I was delighted to find out indeterminate (vining) tomato plants are perennials. For those of us who can keep them over the winter, they produce insanely well and early the next year.
@

@marypeterson3512منذ 4 سنوات I actually started a container of carrots just to try to overwinter and save to get seed next year. First time trying to get a biennial seed. I already save other seeds.

@practicallyheidi8505منذ 4 سنوات It was a very sad day when I realized I could never harvest cool season vegetables for seed in zone 4. Funny that those are also the plants I have the id="hidden19" class="buttons"> hardest time growing because our spring and fall are so short. I keep lots of those seeds in hand. Thanks for the video. ....وسعت

@dutchcourage7312منذ 4 سنوات Interesting topic, and interesting information (hadn't realized so many of the things i would want to grow are biannual) . hmmm . one thing though, id="hidden20" class="buttons"> if you check the yield of seeds from just one plant, these will be more then enough for several years of planting (do note though that saving seeds from just one plant will somewhat reduce the amount of genetic diversity), so judging by that i don't think you would need to reserve a lot of space in your garden annually to have enough seeds, probably 3 to 5 plants of each species would be more then enough; BUT, what you most definitely want to do, is have a biannual planting plan. Meaning you buy 2 times X seeds, then you plant 1 time X seeds, keep 3 to 5 for next year seeding, then also that next year you will want to plant the other 1 times X seeds (to eat from and save seeds from). Then from there on out you can just seed the seeds from last year, keep 3 to 5 plants over, plant the seeds from last year, keep 3~5 over . etc ad infinum. ....وسعت

@happygardener28منذ 4 سنوات Points against seed saving - 1) it requires space to let the plants finish their cycle ✅
2) it takes skill and space to save the seeds ✅ 3)vermin like moles, squirrels, carrot fly laying eggs (I need to resolve this issue)
Points for saving seeds - 1) renewable source 2) avoids disappointment of "out of stock" 3) avoids future hunger 4) plantings can be staggered 5) seeds can be traded/shared
You've left me much to think about. ....وسعت
