I’ve had decent luck with planting grocery store potatoes, sweet potatoes and garlic. Also had good luck planting from bags of kidney beans, black beans and black eyed peas that were meant for eating.
Quite a few seed companies offer a quarter pound or so of seeds for just a bit more than a package. That's enough to plant as well as save. As far as cilantro, it reseeds very easily. Great video. Try subscribing to a few seed companies online and getting their catalogs.
Nice video, you would grow broke buying the little packets especially for microgreens which need a lot of seeds. I hardly ever buy less than a pound as that is where the value is at. And as you said, when you buy that many seeds, we can afford to lose a little germination as they get old. The main problem would be if you purchase something that you find you do no like later. I have a pound of mustard seeds that I am not sure what I will do with as I really do not like the taste, maybe I will learn to love them LOL
You might try dehydrating the mustard greens and adding them to soups. Dehydrating might help take the edge off their sharp flavor, but still let you get the nutrition from them.
@@HomesteadHopefulTara I am learning to love them : ) The trick is how much you put together. I cut them up and mix them with my other micros and they are fine. In fact my micro mustards are now baby greens LOL. I may try dehydrating, that is a good idea. I might also try mixing a little bit of seed when I plant my other micros thereby getting a little of the flavor without overpowering. Thanks for the dehydrating idea : )
Get over the mythical shit hit the fan scenario. Study history….like say 80 years ago. The SHTF and their most valuable possessions were wagons and baby carriages and good shoes and clothes. People don’t dig in, they flee. Just how it is.
Unlikely. There are only a few GM seeds available, and most are not available as sprouting seeds. From an article on NPR: “Corn, soybeans, cotton (for oil), canola (also a source of oil), squash, and papaya. You could also include sugar beets, which aren't eaten directly, but refined into sugar. There's also GMO alfalfa, but that goes to feed animals, not for sprouts that people eat. That leaves quite a lot of your garden untouched. GMO versions of tomatoes, potatoes, and rice have been created and approved by government regulators, but they aren't commercially available.”

Great idea, thanks Tara
You could also buy seeds at feed stores

An unfed neighbor might get shot.
Why do you think we all know what an "SHTF Scenario" is? Is that some kind of survivalist things?
It means...you can't afford or find food at the grocery store.
Shit hits the fan??? Probably, who cares. It's already HIT THE FAN!
Algorithm up!!!
Buy bird food!

Monsanto gm seed rejects.

No one can sell gmo seeds except monsanto. What we can purchase is either hybrid or certified organic or non certified organic.
Add a new packet or two of heirloom seeds every year and start saving your own
John Jones Definitely working on that. :)
