How do store your seed? I’m thinking not about how to preserve their viability, but how to keep things organized. I have so many different seeds I am, once again, reconsidering where and why I put my seed packets. Alpha…

What do you grow that can be stored at house temperature? I know many of you can hold or grow various things through the winter outdoors, or have a root cellar or extra freezer space. For those who don’t – or who have ov…

Turnip pickles: roughly 10kg of turnips into pickles: matchsticked them, put in a couple sliced beets for colour, filled the container maybe 1/6 full of 7% vinegar, and then added water to cover and salt at 3% of total w…

I was just looking through a tomato list on one of the good seed shops in the UK (maybe the only one here that actually encourages you to save your own seeds!) I am not actually interested in this tomato but I will provi…
