We have become overwhelmed with life, to many commitments, to much debt, to much stuff. We are on a treadmill the speed increasing and the incline position studiedly inching its way upward. Our hearts racing we wonder, is there a way off? If I try and step off am I going to fall flat on my face? If I stay on, I am going to kill myself! We run all day long busy, busy and at night we can’t sleep because we worry about all we have to do the next day.
This is my journey...
I shared a video clip earlier about how to save tomato seeds. I want to share another video about why saving our seeds is a good idea. I was talking to someone the other day who was wise enough that one year they kept track of how much they spent getting seeds and plants for their garden. They told me that they spent around $400 dollars putting their garden in one year. Seeds are not cheep and started plants, well they add up pretty fast. Part of the reason we plant gardens is to save on our food costs and to have a nice health food supply for the season and to store for the winter months. But when it costs us so much to put it in we are kind of defeating our purpose of planting a garden to save on food cost.
If you are interested in buying Heirloom seeds you can got to their web site and download a catalog or buy directly from their web site. Baker Creek only offers open-pollinated seeds: pure, natural, and non-GMO.
As for me and my house, I think we are going to start saving our seeds, besides I think this will be a fun project for me and Sarah.
