The Planning Begins!
Always a good idea to start seed planting early! Otherwise you may not get the seeds you want due to limited quantities. This list will likely grow over the next couple months but wanted to do an inventory!
Seeds Kept from Last Year
As time goes on I plan to keep more and more of the previous years seeds for the next growing season. Starting out small and slowly will scale up!
| Plant | Where Acquired | Days to Harvest |
|---|---|---|
| Beans (Purple) | From many plants | 54 Days |
| Pumpkin (Atlantic Giant) | From two largest pumpkins. | 120 Days |
| Sunflower Seeds | From two largest plants. | 100 Days |
Purchased Seeds
This year I made a much stronger effort to buy heirloom seeds as keeping seeds from hybrid plants will often result in seeds that do not germinate.
