What seeds to buy?

Wow! I just went to you link, and I’m totally sold. We just ordered our seeds....they’ll be shipped today. What a great site!

I’ve really been worried about them neutralizing the veggie plants so they won’t re-seed. It’s like the plot of a very scary sci-fi film.

Thanks for the link.

Oh, it was a PING to a Freeper. Sorry.

No wait, just signed up. Got it. I thought it was some kind of seed or plant, LOL!

I have a back-up generator and 50 gallons of stabilized gasoline. I suppose that if the power goes out forever, then I’m screwed.

Yep- it does seem surreal to even be thinking about survival

Heirloom seeds are definitely the way to go. When I was a boy our neighbor gave me some cucumber seeds from his heirloom variety. I planted them every year for a number of years. The vines would produce an abundance of huge (3-4 inch diameter, up to two feet length) cukes. Finding good homes for all of the cucumbers was a bit of a challenge.

After a few years of doing that, I stopped planting them for about five years. I kept the seeds in a wooden box in my parents basement over this period. When I tried again, I got 80+% germination, about the same as when I had been planting every year. Germination rates and how long they will keep will vary with type of seed and the variety, but they have germinated seeds stored cool, dark, and dry for centuries.

INDEED.
