Anyone have a source for seed crops? By that, I mean crops that can be grown for seeds for next year’s crops. Most hybrid seeds do not do well if you plant the seeds. I’ve seen the SHTF seed packages and I’m going to get some but their crop offerings seem rather limited.
Any advice / insight?
Email JustaDumbBlonde and ask to be put on the gardening ping list. Tons of gardeners... big and small, just starting out and doing it for years... are on it. Believe me, they offer advice and insight on anything relating to farming, gardening etc... Nice group of people, too!
