In case of another COVID-19 like event, consider buying next years supplies this year

11. I have a ton of seeds

I use plastic boxes with individual slots for photo storage cases. Alphabetically arranged, of course.

What I did last year was evaluate what varieties of seed I had that were hybrid vs heirloom. When I ordered seeds after the first of the year (pre-covid), I tried to fill in as much as possible with heirloom, organic seeds.

I have some second year seeds - beans and mustards- that I’ve sown this spring (or will sow early June like winter squash). I’m going to try to keep more this year out of those, since they’ve already proven that they will grow here on my property. And I’ll try to add to my seeds of other plants like my tomatoes.

I started cardoons this spring from saved seed. Saved the biggest flower pod from the biggest plant. A whole bunch of them grew, so now I have a lot more cardoons in my yard
