Saving Seed

Fall is one of the best times to collect dried seed. The husks have not broken open to spill their seed as yet, nor has the ground frozen so that biennials needing to Winter over in a Root Cellar can be collected. Stocking food is not enough! You need to be prepared to grow and gather your own, and most importantly, you need to know how to save seed. Get a good book on this, such as Seed to Seed, and practice. Mother Nature wants her seeds dry and cool, so most seed only needs that preparation and protection. Many seeds will not sprout unless gathered from a ripe fruit, so those peppers and squash and melons should be ripe before harvesting. Very ripe, almost to the point of rotting. Tomatoes too, need to have white mold eat away their slime, or the seed thinks it is still in the tomato and simply won’t sprout!
