I do save most seeds. I had to buy some this year, and I may yet have to buy okra. The saved seed passed the germination test in January, but they haven't come up in their little cups. Some you win, some you lose.

I've planted cantaloupe from saved seed for years, Always my pinto beans and corn.

I had to buy tobacco seed this year because of the late start I got last year with my tobacco. It never flowered and seeded.

Some things like basil, cumin and cilantro pretty much reseed themselves, but I do save seed and start them inside every year as well.

All of my garlic is started from stock I got from my daughter's in-laws in the past.

/j— do you have to specially prepare and dry store some seed types? Do you pre-soak any seeds before planting or does that depend? I soaked my green bean seeds and only some sprouted—unless the local doves got to them.
