RE: Wild Seed Vault Collection - Is it OTT / Obsession?
Totally needs the tag #prepper on it :D i've got a fair old collection of seeds but mainly vegetable seeds, i can think of many worse ways to spend you time, and if the SHTF i'd rather have them than not.
from a veg seed point of view, are you savy with the term F1 or "hybrid" seeds? A lot of veg may not grow true to the traits you had seen unless it is a stable strain normally seen around F9+ or what is classed as a heirloom plant.
most of my vegetable seeds are heirloom variety s as yourself I'm keen on saving their seeds for the future
I think I've got a mixed bag of seeds, some heirloom and others God knows ;) I've not looked through them in a couple of years.
Yeah, I should have gone with a #prepper tag LOL
"Until it's gone, we don't miss'em!" (my seed storage theory)
Have you tested any for viability either? something I'm trying to get my head around as I plan on saving loads of seeds this year. Just ordered a 100 jiffy bags to help sort/store the seeds.
surprised I'm not on some government watch list, for the grow lights and jiffy bags and other random stuff I order 😅 they'd be guttered if they turned up to check on my salad...
Keep up the great work, and let me know if you want to trade any seeds later on in the year 👍
not done any testing Dan, more fool me I guess. I've got the wild edibles knowledge to fall back on if all else fails :)
We're probably all on some watch list.......... just how far up might be the concern ;)
Veggie-jihad-ninja risk or summat LOL
Thanks again and I'll bear that in mind :)
btw would you be interested in 50 or so of my red potato seeds? I planted 14...., 11 sprouted, 1 was dug up by a cat and 2 have failed to mature so I've got 7 plants that look relatively healthy (one even has flowers on again so I might be able to get more seeds). So that's a 50% success rate I guess.
