Start a Survival Garden With Your Own Seeds

-

You are considering starting a garden.

Before you get started making a garden, you should gather your seeds and as you gather them, it's best to make sure each variety is dated, labeled and stored properly.

To save money, get your seeds from the non-GMO, truly organic, fruit and vegetables, you purchase at the grocery store. Start gathering a variety of heirloom, non-GMO seeds so you can regrow a good food supply, year after year. Or, if you want, purchase quality seeds.

The seeds you gather will reproduce true to type, unlike the adulterated seeds from cheap hybrids. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place and check germination rates before you plant your actual garden and every year.

What is the Germination Rates of Seeds

Germination rates indicate the percentage of seeds that successfully sprout. This measurement is crucial for assessing plant count and potential growth performance. For example, if 10 seeds are planted and eight seeds sprout, the germination rate is 80%

Build a seed bank with a variety of crops—grains, vegetables, and medicinal herbs. Don’t just collect and forget all about them. Practice planting now so you understand your growing seasons and local soil. 

Seeds are more than tiny packets—they’re the ultimate survival currency.
