As of right now the above photo shows my entire seed collection of which I am constantly growing and expanding. People know I collect seeds so they just give them to me and we have a subscription to blue apron so I am constantly harvesting seeds from the fruits and vegetables that come with it. I have ordered numerous seeds from FEDCO seeds in Maine, and it isn't exactly unheard of for me to pick fruit off of a tree down the road just to harvest the seeds.
These seeds shown below are all open packets of seeds or seeds that I have harvested (In the brown mylar bags). Chances are I won't plant all these seeds this year but I am keeping them separate from the seeds that haven't yet been opened.
These are seeds that haven't yet been opened. They are just in storage and for most of the year are kept down in the food storage room where it is cool, dark, and dry.
We ordered some seeds online and will be getting those in today and I will be buying more containers to store them in. I can't wait.
If this post sounded more like a rant than what I usually put out it wasn't intended that way. I just find it a little sad that there is so much that seems to be taken for granted (I am guilty of that too on certain things) and that little things like this really don't seem important until a crisis hits.
Anyway, until next time.
