Harvesting and Storing Seeds

Planting the GardenI read this Blog Post at Mormon Preparedness on how to properly harvest and store seeds and thought some of my readers would enjoy watching a You Tube Playlist of some of my favorite instructional videos.

The blog post is located HERE.


Most of the seeds I planted in our garden this season were non hybrids, so I am planning on harvesting as many as possible.

Gardening 2013: Summer Squash

We did a huge garden project today!

Two hours of work and we had 2 loaves of Zuchinni Bread, 12 Muffins, 10 Quarts of Summer Squash for the freezer, and 3 pints of Salsa.

Oh, and I also made Oatmeal for breakfast and chicken enchiladas amd rice for supper…whew, off to Little Shop rehearsal.

I love working with my family in the kitchen.

It was fun!

Food from the sky!

Utah, the place where food falls from the sky!

I was just outside looking at our garden. It appears that we will harvest a very well fertilized crop of grass, lawn grass. The garden has laid fallow for years while my father in law took care of Mom Hatch and then declined himself. I do not know when it was last planted, but the grass and weeds are overwhelming.

My next door neighbor was in her garden harvesting some peppers and asked me if I wanted some. Sure!

So she tossed them over the fence to me.

Utah, the place where food falls from the sky!

My neighbors have really reached out in such a warm way, it just makes the transition so much easier…
