I think Alan Connor posted something on this a while ago but I can't seem to find it. We'll see what the other groups can add. Thanks. You might give the yahoogroup "Organic Homesteading Gardening" a try. http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/or...adinggardening As for me, I hit the garden supply store when they have their big end of year sale. I buy the regular seed packs (envolopes) and I store them in a jar with a few O2 absorbers the lid sealed tight of course and kept in the dark. After 5 years the seeds still sprout and grow, YMMV. I think the trick for long term seed storage is the same as long term grain storage, where O2 and water are the enemy (alone with light). I have no clue if the seeds I buy and store are non-hybrid or not and if their seeds will sprout. I just buy enough seed to last 20 or so years, of course I rotate these every chance I get (while we still have places to buy seeds, ect...) What do you buy. Just a mix of veggies and grains? |
