So why save your own seeds? Just buy them right? Well... that's an option and if you purchase seeds from local, small family owned businesses you're keeping your dollars within your community or at least your state.
But for me, I'm interested in being self-sufficient and not relying on seed companies, local or not to feed me and my family. It's very important for me to know what I'm getting and where it's been.
Saving my seeds also saves me money and depending on the size of ones garden, this can be a substantial amount.
Today lets look at a quick and easy how-to on saving Heirloom seeds without the fermentation process.
*The reason that some people teach and stress the fermentation process is because some believe there's a better chance of killing any and all bacteria that may be in the produce.
NOTE: I've been using the following method that I'm about to show you for over 10 years and I have never once had problems with disease or poor germination.
