Flavor Burst Alert! Freshness You Can Taste

Homegrown veggies are a flavor explosion. Forget supermarket produce that's traveled for days. You'll harvest at peak ripeness, savoring the true essence of freshness.

Seed Saving Savvy: It's Easier Than You Think!

Saving seeds is surprisingly simple. Here's a crash course on some popular veggies:

  • Beans & Peas: Let pods dry completely, then pop open and store the seeds.

  • Lettuce & Herbs: Let them flower, collect the seed heads when dry.

  • Tomatoes & Peppers: Scoop out the insides, ferment the mixture, then dry the separated seeds.

General Seed-Saving Tips: Be a Seed-Saving Superhero!

  • Pick the Best: Choose seeds from strong, healthy plants with the tastiest veggies.

  • Skip the Hybrids: Remember, hybrids won't produce true-to-type offspring.

  • Drying is Key: Completely dry seeds to prevent rot. Spread them on a paper towel in a cool, dark spot.

  • Label Everything: Clearly mark your seeds with variety and harvest date.
