Hello Folks,
I've been sourcing many veggie seeds over the last 4 years from various outlets and have built up quite a collection. On top of this I have also been saving Butternut Squash seeds, Runner Beans, Apple seeds, etc. etc. but now I think I've entered into the OTT realm of seed saving...
Even though there is an abundance of wild veggies out there and the chances of them not being available for foraging at some later date is miniscule, I've deciding to start a 'new' seed collection on the hedgerow / roadside / meadow food-stuffs.
Nestled amongst the bottles of 'conventional' seeds below are some you wouldn't normally think of collecting due to the vast quantities out in the wilds and yet I've got this urge to start saving them?!? Strange eh?
btw, don't worry folks, those bottles with the 3 runner beans and a handful of potatoes seeds in are a fraction of what I already hold in other containers :)
I've got dried Stinging Nettles, Plaintain (Greater & Ribwort) and also a load of Pendula Sedge seeds. I'm hoping to add Rose Hip, Hawthorn, Crab Apple and many others as the year rolls on.
Do you guys think this is barmy of me to spend time on this collection or is it a prudent move? Please let me know what you think :)
Bye for now,
Eggy
