  • Grow an Endless Garden | Start Saving Seeds Today Have you ever wondered what people did before seed packets? We take for granted that we can visit the seed racks at nurseries and big box stores and/or shop seed catalogs and websites. It's so easy to fill up a shopping basket with seed packets! Guess what? Saving seeds is not only NOT hard at all - it's fun! Let's start with a spring garden walk-thru, from a seed saving and food preserving perspective. Come on, let's go! The garden has been planted for a mere 3 weeks, a perfect time to take a peek. The plants are small in size, but BIG in potential.

    I enjoyed your tour, twice! It's going to be wonderful to watch everything grow throughout the summer. I'm familiar with Seed Savers Exchange, having been a member as it began. It's one of the best gardening resources available. Saving seeds is something I love & am looking forward to beginning again. I'm hungry from hearing about & seeing your garden's bounty. I especially like your blackberry fence. They are such a joy. Looking forward to whatever you bring to us next! 🌻

      Oh my, Jeanne, I am so flattered! SSE is a wonderful resource. I appreciate all I have learned over the years from them and I miss Kent Whealy being at the helm. Do you have wild blackberries where you are? I am so looking forward to the season's first cobbler or pie! Blessings to you today, Michele

    What a great tour, Michele! I loved all of it! I've only been gardening a few years so it's so nice to see what others grow to have things rotating through 3 seasons...I will try some fall gardening with kale and chard this year for the cooler months...also love the vintage lunch pail for your seed storage ....so adorable :)

    Thank you for sharing your garden. It is so amazing and lovely.

    That was a wonderful tour Michele! I will be interested to see what you think of those new tomatillo's. I put in more than I will need again...whooops. I save some tomato seeds last year and am growing them again this year to obtain more. Also have a few rare or extremely rare tomato, dry beans and a pepper I am planning on saving seed from. Saved some mullein seed last winter and was amazed at the germination rate. Good job Ma'am!

      Thank you! I too am curious how the Chupon de Malinalco tomatillos will do. I saw a photo years ago and have had my eye out for them since. Good for you growing unusual and rare varieties and saving seeds. We all need to be doing this. Your garden is awe-inspiring. I will be following your updates in HK with interest. ~Michele

    I tried saving lettuce seeds last year by letting them bolt. There were sooooo many. I got frustrated and threw them away. You've inspired me to try again and keep at it.

    • @ChocolateBoxCottage
      @ChocolateBoxCottage  Рік тому

      Lettuce is a generous producer of seeds. You don't have to save them all. Choose seeds from plants that bolted last and were healthy. It's worth trying again. ❤️ Michele

      The poles are pushed into the soil and fastened at the top with wire. I have to confess, it is a bit of a mystery to me - my husband somehow managed to put the poles in place and secure them when I went inside to put in a load of laundry. 🤭
