RE: Harvesting And Saving Seeds ~ Making Your Garden Stay FREE!

in #homesteading7 years ago

I'm waiting to see if any of my pole beans mature enough on the vines to be viable. I don't always have the best luck with pole bean seeds because of cross-pollination. I've been saving carrot seeds for several years, those usually do pretty well.

That's awesome about the carrot seeds Amber, do you just leave a few carrots in over winter and then they go to seed in the spring or?

Yes, that's basically what I do. The little carrots that aren't worth pulling out get left in over the winter, and they produce seeds the following year. I actually just let them seed themselves for 3 years to see how that would work. They end up everywhere in the garden except where you want them.
