- This is the first video in a 5 part series on seed saving for fruit and vegetable plants. In this episode (Ep1) I explain how I save the category I call "Dry Seed" from our food garden to grow more plants next season. The next episode (Ep2) details saving "Wet Seed" so make sure you also see this as all videos in this series are related. Cheers :)

I'm not sure but ,if anyone else wants to learn about how to grow an organic garden with vegetables try Proutklarton Alive Products Plan (just google it )?
It is a great one of a kind guide for discovering some powerful organic produce secrets using aquaponics minus the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my m8 got amazing results with it.
I live in South Africa my name is Thomas I am 13 and you really have inspired me to get growing
@Nunya Bis its going well thanks you can Check it out on my RUclips channel
its very rare that someone comments years ago and still uploads regularly, you are going to be an incredible adult, it already shows that you are a good kid, good job!
@@deethz7727 aww thank you do much it means alot!!!!
I love that your 13 and learning to grow your own food. You will not go hungry. Plant lots of beans carrots potatoes and turnips rutabaga you can make soups. Grow dill rosemary and Basil. Good luck in your garden. I'm 75 and I've had a garden for 40 years green beans and tomatoes are the easiest to grow and lots of sweet peppers
a lot of dry seed pods actually snap open when they're dry enough flinging the seeds all over, some plants can fling their seeds a surprising distance too. it's better than just dropping them and pretty neat if you happen to see it happen(sometimes if they're almost ready you can give em a little poke and they'll pop).
my lupins did that 😊
I am locally known as "the crazy seed lady" and it is a title I am very proud of. Folks, always ask locally on Facebook etc. for local seeds, people love to share and trade!
A great informative seed saving video Mark. This will help plenty of new gardeners take that step to becoming more sufficient by keeping their own seed and not relying on what a company can produce. There are also added benefits to saving your own, The seed has already adapted to local conditions and environment, this will provide stronger plants next season and germination will be pretty much 100% guaranteed. Excellent information mate
ok free promtion
Thanks for the tip!
I recently bought my first seeds and started them in little homemade newspaper pots, after a week or so they started sprouting and im hooked! I have no idea what to do with them since I don't have a soil or a spot built yet, but im addicted anyway...and seeing your amazing organized seed filing cabinet made my body tingle!!
You put a smile on my face from the get go my friend. Thank You.
This video is "a ton" approved 👍😁
LOL I'm glad you got a ton out of it! :)
I have been watching your videos for a while. But now my wife has just found your videos and she loves them keep the great work going.
The intro had me immediately hitting “like” 🤣
Content is always worth the support, thanks always for the education
Thank you. I needed this. I am tired of re-buying so many seeds. It will be nice to capture some of my own.
at 1 minute, I finally see a wide view of your space... you've got a palace for gardening!!!
I am not a big fan of radishes, so mine went to seed. I found that the birds just love the seed pods. I was happy to see that someone enjoyed my radishes!
I live in the northern hemisphere, and you have inspired me to make my own videos. I greatly appreciate your videos.
Your cinematography is actually excellent. I'm hooked on your videos.
ABSOLUTELY!!🌱 OF COURSE when we take 2 minutes to process how a seed is truly INCREDIBLE we will be amazed 👍 Then, we get to WONDER 🤔 "Hmmm...how could this "JUST happen?"
I'm curious as to what you do with the abundance of food? Selling at markets maybe? Love the seed file idea 😀
Thank you SO very much for this series! I am a fledgling gardener/homesteader and I really want to practice using my own seeds for future garden generations.
Pine Brooke Homestead me too, i'm still confused about how to make my plants "produce seed" , they are not flowering :(
I've used a bloom booster. I think it was from Miracle Gro iirc. That might help!
We all start somewhere - you should have seen me in the early days of food gardening - no idea! Give the plants time they should eventually flower but if the season beats them, consider extending a few plants in containers in a warmer sport or covering with a mini hoop house etc and if that fails have fun searching for new seed online and buying it to plant next season - I love searching for new plants to grow! Cheers :)
Pine Brooke Homestead Thank Youu!!
Self Sufficient Me
thank you, your reply means a lot.
i live in indonesia, it's warm all year long.
thank you, i will try to give it more time.
thanks for all the advice, will try them all :)
Love your blog! Hard to find a good Aussie gardener, who is enjoyable to watch and also entertaining to listen to!
This is a great series, Mark. I know a lot of people would love it because they get to appreciate what they grow, harvest, eat and then save seeds even propagate plants for free. I enjoy collecting seeds from my vegetables to flowers. I started with a shoe box to store them in and now it has grown to a bigger storage container LOL.
Genius! I love the file folders method of organizing seeds
Thanks from the uk! I’m absolutely OBSESSED with collecting seeds and keeping them in my own, hand made, original, triangular origami envelopes. Call me extra, ( cuz I am ) but I love homemade 😊
Wow! You're basically growing a better version of my local farmer's market! So cool!
This video gives me "heaps" to think about! Thanks Mark, you're a great RUclipsr!
AND, Bok Choi for bees! :-) Thank you, Self Sufficient Me!
I love your gardening videos. I live on the Gulf Coast of Tex’s so we don’t get a lot of cold weather either. Thank you for producing these informative videos. God bless you and your family.
I love Surfside, Texas
This is my first year gardening and I'm LOVING IT! Already have a small collection of seeds growing ( I save everything I come across. lol) I've been doing a lot of research into the best methods and practices of seed saving and storage so I'll be eagerly waiting for the rest of this series.
Love the “tonne of chia video concept” made me laugh thank you
Looking forward to the series Mark. We grew 12 southern mustard green plants all throughout fall and winter this past year and they produced plenty of edible leafy greens. We then allowed just 2 out of the way plants to go to seed after watching your mustard video and it worked out very well, the flowers attracted all sorts of pollinators for us early this season plus we yielded an ounce (1.25) of seeds for growing next season.
They're great producers of foliage and seeds, aren't they! Nice one mate :)
What a great idea for storing your seeds, a filing cabinet amazing Mark..
I wish i had discovered your channel sooner, I could have grown food for so long, LOVE your videos!!!
I tried storing my pumpkin seeds in a dish in the open this year. Mice found them and ate them all!
I enjoyed the video.
Isn't it just delightful when you don't do anything for your plants and they regrow all on their own the next year!
A filing cabinet full of seeds you've harvested from your yard?? New goal unlocked.
I can tell you really enjoy and love what you do and that makes your videos even more enjoyable
great video mark and a really good idea to break up the series into specific sections. can't wait for the rest
Thanks Greg! :)
Great video. I have done same process in my video with seeds saving tips for peppers, tomato and other vegetables. Thanks for tips and teaching as always!!
What an excellent idea for a series, very informative and well made!
Hey Mark, for over 10 years I've been letting selected herbs and veges go to seed-saved and plant them out next season. I've noticed they have grown much bigger/healthier and more productive. They also seem more resilient to the many pests and fungal problems I had with the first few crops. Eggplant, Basil, Dill, coriander, chives, Beans, tomatoes, passionfruit. I always thin out and select the strongest seedlings to replant. Do you think plants can somehow build up immunity and climatize making each new seed stronger. I think so ?
Awesome video Mark. Thank you for posting.
i love saving seeds i think its fundamental to gardening!
Very informative, thank you, from Ithaca,Michigan. U.S.A.😊
What a seedtastic video.
Always a joy to see what you’ve posted, thanks for the great content.
Love this guy and his accent
You are AMAZING. I love all of your garden tips.
Thanks for your videos Mark, I'm loving watching them. Just about to start the gardening journey and found your channel while doing research before I start.
Weve bee using tea bags, the ones you buy to make your own tea, they allow air to circulate and easy to have then hanging on string to dry.
Hi from the USA CA!!!👍👍👍✌
California! I'm hoping to visit CA later this year :)
Your awesome man you’ve got a vid for everything I’m trying so hard to get better at
Very interesting and helpful. I'm excited to watch all 5 in the series

Radish pods are really tasty! Since I know that I don’t mind them bolting too much any more. 🤤
Great subject. thank you, and look forward to the next part of the series
Hi mark great videos as always
Thanks for the tips seed saving seems to be a struggle of mine
Looking forward to the future videos!
Man I love your video openers! Keep it up Mark
I'm really excited to see you post more videos. I find myself looking forward to them. I live in Central Florida and my weather is kinda similar to yours. We have 5 acres and have a large garden. We also are planting a "food forest" with about 30 tropical fruit trees so far. I try to follow suggestions you give. The only one I've had problems with is the ginger. I planted it in a large pot, watered it, and kept it in the sun...like I thought you did. Well, it didn't like the full sun. Had to put it in the shade. The summer sun is just too hot. Thank you for the great videos and the time you put into making them.
Awesome video. I am just learning about seed saving.
Great series, awesome channel. You have helped me to become quite the veg grower :D
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
fantastic, young guy, and trying to learn to garden at my new home, your videos have been great knowledge shared.
Great to know! I'm trying to encourage more younger people to get into self-sufficiency/backyard food growing so thank you for watching :)

Informative and inspiring. Two thumbs up.!
Thank you for the double! :)
You must make sure seed is COMPLETELY dry before using a ziplock or plastic bag to store. Paper is your friend.
Good episode veryinformative.
I am so grateful to know about the deacon radish seeds! Mine did not do well this year, so I pulled up the stems and I noticed the little growth on them. I did not know they were seeds. I ate them and I thought they were pretty good. I hope they are not poisonous! I'm glad to know they are not!! :)
Look at you with 125k subs. I'm so proud of you, Mark! You've earned every one.
Love the info here. I've left my remaining lettuce, parsley, and dill go to seed and have a bunch saved up for next season. Looking forward to the rest of the series. ~ Lisa
… and now, 4 years later, Mark has 1.73 million subs :)
Great information. Thanks. 👍🏻
