As you know, I love getting my hands in the earth and growing food. I love connecting with the circle of life and death. To be fully integrated into this cycle means collecting my own seed from the plants I have nurtured and nourished. 

In 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, we saw seed sales going through the roof, with many seed companies selling out of stock. This is a hint that we all need to become more self-sufficient and start saving our own seed, just like our ancestors would have done. A further benefit of saving seed is that it becomes familiar with our soil and climate, making it a much stronger. 

• I save seed to eat the seed, such as dried beans or peas.
• I save seed to sprout for fresh alive greens in the winter, such as broccoli or radish. (Check out my sprouting video)
• I save seed to grow in the garden the following year.
