Saving Seed
I’ve known since the spring that I would save whatever seed I could, to encourage self-sufficiency in whatever areas I could. Last week I brushed up on my seed-saving skills with this video, and then got to work processing the bundles that had been drying in the greenhouse. Below, some photos of the process.
