Our journey to producing more and consuming less on 1/8 acre in the middle of the city. Urban farming, through keeping backyard chickens and a top bar hive of honey bees, practicing organic vegetable gardening, taking care of several fruit trees, maintaining a compost pile, canning and preserving our harvests and trying our best to do it all ourselves using reclaimed materials where possible.

Great seed photos! I've been saving seeds myself.. in fact, I think every coat I have has seeds in the pockets! I need to be better organized like you obviously are! :)
ReplyDeleteI have a brilliant organic seed collection going to waste... very little space in our rented home, I just hope most of them keep well for when we get our dream garden :) I couldn't save pumpkin seeds - too tasty lol I even roasted all the ones from my works' pumpkin carvings!!
ReplyDeleteNiki - Thank you! I'm not always so organized :-) Before the seeds make their way into those sweet little packets, they usually live on our kitchen counter in various little bowls waiting to dry, being shuffled to and fro!
ReplyDeleteAstra - I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get your dream garden sooner rather than later! Seeds are amazing in their resiliency! Your germination rates may be a bit off, but I'm confident they'll be fine! I hear you about the pumpkin seeds, though! I just have to tell myself that saving them ensures I'll have more to eat next year!!!
