tasteforlife.com/living/eco-home/saving-seeds-for-the-future "Free the Seed for Food Security! The origin of the ingredients in the salads we make is not likely the first thing that comes to mind when we think about acts of resistance. Perhaps it should be...." It is miserable for a farmer to be obliged to buy his Seeds; to exchange Seeds may, in some cases, be useful; but to buy them after the first year is disreputable.- George WashingtonMy notes: Who saves seeds? GMO ones are also called Terminator seeds as they won't be viable. I save my flowers as well as veggie seeds. I haven't started into Heirloom varieties but that may be in the future.

If I don't save enough seeds, I know I can get some nice ones from my daughter

I've saved seeds before and even though I've wondered how long they'll survive if I don't plant the following year, I've been surprised by things like pumpkins!

www.familyhandyman.com/article/flower-seeds "When it's time to start buying seeds for next season's garden, consider these factors before you decide where and how to spend your garden budget...." My notes: What works for you? I try to save seeds from previous years & if not, if it's veggies, I opt for organic. Flowers are harder to find organic so I buy a more reputable brand. lainee, Bob, lammchen,

Hard to say how long they really last, I know when my grandma collected seed (and she had tons) after a while some of her older stuff wouldn't come up. Though I think that was after 10 years of just sitting in a cup.

A couple of my neighbors told me they'll give me a few of their seedlings this summer for my garden. Yay!! That will save me time and money.
We're actually going to get started and weedwhack the garden today since it will be nice outside. I need to buy my landscape fabric soon too.

My mom used to store seeds long ago for the next season, but as the homes are developed so now it is very hard to plant seeds. We have stopped few years back planting, but still cultivate some of the fruits and vegetables in our home. I have thought to plant more vegetables, but no place and no terrace at the moment.
