I live in the US and started gardening more with the covid19 lockdown. I love your videos. This one was super helpful to a beginner like me! Thank you.

One quick tip when saving seeds: LABEL, LABEL, I had a former roommate who passed away and I ended up with all of his seeds (among other gardening equipment). Of course, he knew exactly what he had saved, but NOTHING that was saved in a napkin was labeled at all! :( I think most of the seeds are different varieties of peppers, but it will take a while growing/researching them in order to try to figure things out. *sighs* Whenever I save seeds, I always make sure to put what it is, what the variety is (if I know it) and the date of harvest on whatever I am saving them on/in. Putting the date helps me remember what year I grew that variety (in case I end up having to skip them a year or two for various reasons) and how long to expect to be able to get the seeds to germinate.

The best book for seed saving is one titled Seed to Seed by Susan Ashworth. I've bought and shared this book with all my children that want it. I think my husband and I each have one by accident. :)

The best advice you can give for seed saving is to keep them in the fridge - they last for years! XxxX

I cannot say enough about Huw's book, Grow Food For Free. Definitely check out this master gardener's book. Within the first 10 pgs, the tips you'll find can help revolutionize your approach to gardening w/insight on personal and communal, as well as free and relatively easy ways to keep costs low, while maximizing yields. Great book!

Great vid, I’ve been letting all my veg go to seed so I can collect them for next yr. we have turned our backyard into a 90% edible garden. I like to hang my coriander, Pak Choi, Purple Sprouting Broccoli, upside down and in the house to allow them to dry out. Then I harvest them. But I didn’t know how to do the tomato’s and potato’s so big Thankyou from me 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻☺️ I’ve got some beauties of spuds to get sorted now and I’ll definitely be doing your tomato trick.

Thank you for the excellent video. In Alaska this year I couldn’t find pea seeds. My husband found a pack at a hardware store. A gentleman had spotted the display and was going to get a package of peas also...it was the last package. We split it with him. They are the sweetest peas I’ve ever tasted. Coincidence, not sure. Sharing makes life sweeter! In years past I’ve had pickling cukes but no dill. Then the next year dill but no cukes. It’s time to take matters into my own hands! Your advice will be my guide!

I have saved seeds from my favorite pie pumpkin for 3 years now. This year I'm going to try my radishes and zuchinni as well. I was going to try carrots but now I think I need to do some more research. Thanks for the lovely video.
