now where i live in an apartment complex, I grow indoors in 2 plastic tubs just plants for saving seeds.
Seeds saving is so important! You can't have a garden without the seeds. I leave lots in my garden, just to have seed next year. Great video!
Absolutely. Thank you.
Can I use my dehydrator to speed up the drawing of the seeds or should I even bother? Should I just leave them out to air dry
Thanks for sharing your tips. And your dog running in the background is hilarious 😂😂😂.
You’re welcome
I didn't realise it was that easy
It is.
At the beginning of the plandemic, I noticed everyone rushing to buy tp. Personally, I went for the seeds first and had that section all to myself 😁
Few years later I still have my library garden and I love it. This video was super helpful to me because next years garden will hopefully be entirely based off the seeds I collect at the end of this year’s season.
Subscribed 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼❤️
Awesome!
It's great to grow for yourself but many others like myself want to make growing communities where we can trade. You can't grow everything. Get a community of growers together and have a huge variety of basically free food. We have set up a market in a small town of 2500 with about 200 growers and small livestock growers and it's been wonderful. We trade amongst ourselves and people that dont want to trade can purchase. Why deal with political beurocrats that want to control our food prices when we have the power to produce our own food?
That is awesome. I agree that would be a great thing to do.
Amen. ❤
That's the way to go. Im the only one in my neighbourhood that grows for the table. Ive tried to talk others into it, but they couldnt be bothered. Of course, they dont mind asking to have what i grow.
Ive got it down to a science now and u can grow enough produce to use fresh, and preserve several months worth of food in 100 square feet or less
I agree 100%, I have been saying it would be excellent if you could get the support of communities. Even if it starts out small, you could start raising cattle and chickens and if someone doesn't want to mess with animals they can grow a garden and the people that have animals could trade eggs and chicken or beef for vegetables. And like you said, if you need more of something you just want to purchase it you can buy it. You could have someone get a dairy cow for milk. It would be so nice to get back to the old days where communities relied on each other and you know who is growing your food and what's going into it instead of just going to Walmart to get the absolute nastiest junk available because otherwise you have to pay 10 times more to get it from somewhere reputable. I love this idea and I would love to see more of it spreading across this country. Count me In!
You can also just dice tomatoes and put them on top of your own dirt mixture you like and place in cool dark area over fall winter and the gel on them seeds keep them safe and come next season you push them down in dirt on pot place in window
when I had a small garden space and couldn't space my tomatoes, squashes, melons etc. I'd do a rotation each year and can up that variety that would last me, (one person) more than a year with canning just beef steak tomatoes, & Romas for sauces.
I can attest to this, thank you. I've already had to replant our beans twice. I purchased ours from a local farm store, evidently non gmo doesn't necessarily mean heirloom. I will be saving them this year.
You’re welcome
My tomatoes from last year reseeded themselves. I had cherry tomatoes sprout all over the garden this year, lol.
Awesome
Great video! Straight to the point but thorough enough to feel confident, and the video examples really help. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful
The other benefit of saving seeds is that they're from a plant that is slowly acclimating itself to your environment animal grows stronger with each new season
Absolutely!
You didn’t mention how to store the seeds. Jar? Envelope? Plastic container? I saved pepper seeds from store bought hot cherry peppers I loved and green peppers from the market. I wrapped them dried in plastic wrap then in an envelope. They are still growing. I realize the importance of growing your own plants and herbs especially and I’m not a homesteader. I have two small decks on my condo and plant in containers. I start plants from themselves, ex: celery, scallions, etc. thanks for the tomato seed extraction info, will do that.
We did a completely separate video on that here….ua-cam.com/video/xX-M-F_GrAg/v-deo.html
Great video!! Thank you for sharing
You are so welcome!
Excellent, thank you for the detailed instructions.
You're welcome
Amazing!!! Thank you!!

You bet!
Straight information. Most underrated video on the internet. Appreciate your work and message. God Bless and Good Luck ✊🙏
Thank you so much! I appreciate it.
Great Video!!! Thanks for posting!!
Thank you
This video was awesome and so helpful!
Glad it was helpful
One tip when drying similar looking seeds like cantaloupe vs cucumber, don't forget to write the name of the variety on the paper towel to avoid confusion ..
So perfect! Thanks!
You’re welcome
Thank you. Very informative
You're welcome
Great information for us beginner
Glad it was helpful!
Help me create a nuclear proof briefcase or some kind of case that can protect are plants. we need them.
Thank you...very impressive
You’re welcome
I am slowly learning basics of cultivation and farming around my home garden and flower pots on sundeck...slowly...what a great skill and ability...and not really complicated...imagine being able to be able to grow your own food and give to others ( later when you have your few acres )
Acres? I produce more than I can eat on 1/4 acre....
@@plucknpick6414 a farm needs 8- 12 acres. ..1 acre for house tool shed animals shed storage shed personal garden 1 acre for horse corral 2 acre for pasture 3 acre for vegetables 3 acre for grains/feed and 2 extra acres for rotation ( my idea )
Thank you! God bless!!
You are so welcome
I have a garden to
Tyfs great video😁👏🏾💯
You are so welcome
Great vid
Thank you
Thank you.
You're welcome!
I wish I had a bunker and able to do this save seed inside the bunker. I wish someone would teach me how to plant and save seeds for next time to plant but I wish I could do it in a bunker.
Thank you
You're welcome
I have saved some seeds over the years now that i'm retired I hope I have time to save them all.
Nice!
I would like to know how to dry my potatoe seed pods that I got from my potatoe s this year.
Sorry, I am not sure. I have never used seed pods for potatoes. I only use seed potatoes to grow new potatoes. I have many videos on that.
Good info. I have tons of flower seeds I have saved over the years from different residences. I am growing 1 squash from saved seed. It's time to start saving the rest of my veggie's seeds.
I buy organic seeds and they are not cheap, especially if I order online and have to pay for shipping.
I always try to buy non-gmo organic seeds as well. Luckily I have not had to buy them in a few years because I have saved all the seeds from the fruit.
I found an old pack of dill seeds from 2010 I’m gonna try to start them and see what happens . What can I lose . I had already bought two new packs of seeds so I can’t lose
Oh yeah burpees seeds are getting pretty pricy and some of the packs had only like 12 to 18 seeds so their pretty skimpy on quantity
My Dad also saves seeds too
excuse me so after i collect my seeds and go about drying them, how and where would be best to store them? thanks for the great video brother!
You're welcome. I did a video on seed storage here....ua-cam.com/video/xX-M-F_GrAg/v-deo.html
❤❤❤
I always save seeds from things I like but I agree this year seed saving is more important than ever before because we don't know what will be available come winter. I had ordered a lot.of.the seeds I wanted for.the year prior to the pandemic, but i had forgotten a few summer crop seeds and thought well I'll order those when its closer to seed starting time for those. Seed starting time came and I was blown away to find that I couldn't get things i wanted that I had not seed saved for whatever reason or things I had wanted to try this year for.the first time since I knew i was tripling the size of my garden even before the pandemic - that was just the plan for this year. Im still on waiting lists for things and fruit bushes I had ordered in April are still not here. Its been nuts. So save seeds! If you like it, save the seeds, even if it's from the grocery store, save it. You'll be a lot less stressed come spring garden seed starting time if you do. Great video thank you :)
I totally agree. A little preparation in hard times goes a long way.
Very good information. Thank you. How many years can seeds be stored ?
Thank you. Seeds can be stored for about 4 or 5 years in perfect conditions. Some last longer, some shorter.
Yep
Great video! How do you choose to store them longterm?
I keep them in plastic bags in a cool dark place.
What a great video!! I'm a newer gardener and am just starting to research how to save seeds. This is probably a stupid question, do you still water your plant until the seeds are dried and ready?
Thank you.
It really depends on the plant. Like with okra, lettuce, broccoli, etc, you can stop watering them. With fruit bearing plants like melons, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc, you would have picked the fruit with the seeds in it so keep watering those to produce more fruit.
Its a good idea to save those seeds from what you grow. Just the cost of groceries alone is good enough reason to want to learn how to grow in the first place, and learn how to grow in quantity so you can freeze or bottle for long term use. Another reason you want to know this stuff us what ade you gonna do if the supply chain breaks down - again?
Exactly
Just found your channel and subscribed. Thank you!!!
I’m brand new at this. How do you know when your seeds are dry enough and how fo you store them? Thanks!!!
Welcome.
Usually a few days is good enough to dry any seed. I leave them a week just to be sure. Don't put them in direct sunlight though as that will destroy the coating on the seed.
@@CountryLivingExperience Then can I store them in a canning jar over the winter? Thank you VERY much for your reply.
I did a video on proper seed storage here....ua-cam.com/video/xX-M-F_GrAg/v-deo.html
Did I miss the part where he actually tells his how to store them? Air tight jar? Breathable fabric bag? Fridge?
I did a completely different video on that subject here......ua-cam.com/video/xX-M-F_GrAg/v-deo.html
I must first buy seed to save seed
You must
So fundimental
It is, yet so many have lost the skills for this.
My wife works in a pharmacy so I told her to start saving me those silica packs from the pill bottles so I can put them with the seeds to keep them dry . Should I store them in the refrigerator or freezer?
Good idea re: the silica packs. I just keep mine in a cool dry place. I have kept some in the refrigerator and it worked well too.
Thank you for the seed harvest tutorial! What is the best way to store the seeds until they are ready to be germinated? Thanks! :)
You're welcome. This is our seed storage video.....ua-cam.com/video/xX-M-F_GrAg/v-deo.html. It should help answer your questions.
How do i store seeds after drying, and how long can they be stored? Thank you!
We did a video on that here......ua-cam.com/video/xX-M-F_GrAg/v-deo.html
Great video my man .
Appreciate it!
Do you have to water the plants that you are letting go to seeds? I live in the dessert and my garden burns up during the summer.
You have to water them until they go to seed and the seeds naturally develop and dry up.
shouldn't you do a fermentation with all seeds that have the gelatinous coating like the tomatoes? as in the melons, pumpkins, cukes, squashes etc.?
No. This works for me perfectly.
🚨 New gardener here, i’m trying to learn as much as I can. As I prepare my bed for for the question is about weed barrier, is that landscaping fabric that you’re using? Looking for specific of what you use?
That is DeWitt weed barrier. It lasts for years. I think the link is in the description.
Is any worry from what it’s made of leakage into our food @@CountryLivingExperience is there any wo
@@maggiemirenda7146 I am not really worried about it.
How do you store the seeds once you've dried the seeds? Do they go into a container with a lid?
Glad you asked. We did a video on that too. Here: Best Way To Store Seeds At Home! 4 Rules

@@CountryLivingExperience Thanks :)
So I have a question are all your plants heirlooms ? I have heard that if you buy hybrids they won’t be the same plant when you try to grow the saved seeds.
All mine are heirlooms. I have tried this with hybrids in the past and they work just fine.
what brand for seed to start with? A lot of seeds these days when you save the seeds nothing will grow from them.
We use heirloom seeds from Baker Creek.
Hi there 👋 I have a question ❓ when saving seeds do they have to be heirloom only or I can save non heirloom One to
Only heirloom seeds are good for saving and producing the same plant the next growing season.
The issue with carrots is that they easily cross pollinate. You need to be aware of that.
❤❤❤❤🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
We’re to store the seeds when it’s done drying?
In a cool dark place in your home. I did a video on that subject here.....ua-cam.com/video/xX-M-F_GrAg/v-deo.html
Newbie here. What company(s) do you recommend for heirloom seeds. I assume that is the term for non hybrid seeds that can be saved & re-used?
That is correct. I order seeds from Baker Creek, Southern Seed Exposure, and Territorial Seed Company.
@@CountryLivingExperience thank you!
Seed savers exchange
Good information. Will be sharing this video.
Awesome, thank you!
Hello I just found your channel, I like to know when do you plant, a peach seed. I save some about 3 week ago.i got some peaches.from my farmer market, and I save the seeds but I dont know what time. Of year to plant them. Please could you tell me.thank you.
Almost all trees are grafted. I have never grown a tree from a seed. I always buy year old grafted trees.
@@CountryLivingExperience ..Thank you so much.for leting me know.I have been looking at all of you videoa.sence I found your channel.
Wonderful. Thank you for being here Dorothy.
How long does seeds last
It depends on the type of seed. For example: Eggplant is 4 to 5 years vs. Parsnip is 1 to 2 years. It also depends on how you store them. I have another video on storage here....ua-cam.com/video/xX-M-F_GrAg/v-deo.html
Okra is good flour
Cool
Question about seeds. What about cross pollination? I grow a variety of tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelon, squash, and zucchini. Do I have to worry about true breeding? I know that cucumbers and melons may cross polinate and the fruit isn't desirable. Is this a big problem for your garden and how do you determine what isn't a viable food option for yourself? I'm not interested in seed sharing either, just trying to avoid growing interbred plants with useless fruit lol
Good question. I have not worried about it too much since I am growing for survival essentially. The best way to avoid a cross pollination issue is to keep fruit and veg from the same families at least 100ft apart from one another. That is not practical for most though.
Can you save the seeds that have been dehydrated in slices of tomatoes?
I am not sure because the coating around the seeds really needs to be removed first. If they were dehydrated, then that coating was not removed. Try it. I don't know if it will work.
@@CountryLivingExperience me either
Can i cut the okra pod while still green and keep it till it dries ?
I am not sure. The seeds need to develop completely to be viable to plant again. The best way to do that is to leave them on the stalk until they dry.
@@CountryLivingExperience ok thank you
Can all seeds be saved for next yr?
Yes
Sir, there’s one part of seeds that you haven’t spoken about here: potato seed.
When I first started off growing vegetables, some very experienced farmers told me that the seed that comes from the little tomato at the top of the potatoes, is useless.
That turns out to be false, and a great way to preserve your potato without having to save too many of your actual potatoes for seed for the next year, which could make a real difference in the leaner years. It also gives a person a great way to select traits that they like in a variety to emphasize, or to develop.
Too Many people believe this lie; In my area, most people that grow potatoes believe that they have to go get new seed or order it every year. They don’t realize that they can work with the seed. As a result, over the last few years, many, many people have told me that the river ride is that they cannot get any longer, which were very reliable for them.
Perhaps you wouldn’t mind speaking about that, and even possibly demonstrating how to produce your own potato from these seeds?
I will save mine for sure everything I bought did NOT grow !!!
You can't save seeds from immature peppers. Must be Red.
I saved my seeds from last years vegetables. None of them sprouted. Why?
They need to be fully dried. Stored in a dark and cool place.
I don't do my tomatoes seeds like that. I just pour them straight from the tomatoes to the dirt and they grow and give me tomatoes.
Ok. What if your out of season? You need to save them like I have for use in future planting seasons.
I'm starting to buy seed packs at grocery store and just save them for the future. I don't have garden space. Maybe when the entire American economy collapse? Also there is all this doom and gloom of a future famine world wide? Water and seeds will be more precious than gold and silver.
Seeds will be very valuable. Make sure you store them correctly. Here is a video about proper seed storage....ua-cam.com/video/xX-M-F_GrAg/v-deo.html
LIPA STRASZNA BRAK NAPISOW POLSKICH....BADZIEWIE 😢😢😢
I thought Poles were good farmers? Why are you looking up an English video??
Thanks for the information. Could you lose the safety glasses? I can't speak for everyone, but it seems to be a prop to me. No real use, For collecting seed.
How do you know when to plant for when you want them? Do you freeze the stuff you harvest?
I freeze, dehydrate, can, and freeze dry the food I harvest. I don’t understand your first question.
@CountryLivingExperience I mean I could plant 100 cucumbers but once I harvest them all, in just a matter of weeks, I'd have 100 rotten cucumbers.
Any tips for keeping a steady supply of food all season?
The plants will continue to produce throughout a season. You won’t get 100 at once from a few plants. You’ll get 10 or 15 at a time.
Or succession plant the plants. Only plant a few then a few weeks later plant more, then so on.
