Seeds For The Future: Photo Of The Day
Gardeners can cut down their costs by saving seeds from season to season.
SAN LEANDRO, CA — The Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway stores some 400,000 food crop seed samples from around the world, providing security for the world's food supply against catastrophe — whether natural or caused by human intervention.
Home gardeners can do their part by storing seeds from their own gardens from year-t0-year. It not only fulfills the lofty goal of food security but it saves money, too. The same can be done with flowers.
Miyo Burnett saved the seeds from her flowering kale earlier this year. Thank you for sharing your photo, Miyo!
