RE: My back yard garden

Awesome! Have you gotten into saving your own seed. It's one of the most amazing sources of abundance to then start seed exchanges with neighbors and friends. One lettuce that bolts up will produce over 10,000 seeds! Onward and upward.

Sort:  

Right now, I save corn and hard bean seeds. I don't save tomato seeds because I grow several different varieties all together, and the chances of cross pollination are pretty high. I have saved carrot seeds in the past, and bunching onion seeds. I usually don't save squash seeds because of cross pollination, but I might this year. All the different kinds of squash are separated this year, so less chance of cross pollination. The green beans that I grow are usually not heirloom, so you don't know what you're going to get when you save those.

Nice! That sounds amazing. Have you thought of hosting a seed exchange party? I daydream of seed swap potlucks happening in communities around the world.
