Here is some food for thought about seeds and gardening. Why not just gather food storage, but also gather seeds so you can keep yourself fed long term if necessary.
Could you and your family get off the grid and survive in a panic?
Do you have enough seeds to plant a survival garden and feed your family?
Do you have the right kind of seeds to plant?
If you’re answering no to these questions, you need to stop wherever you are and ask yourself… “What would I do if the grocery stores closed?” The answer sadly is that you’d probably go hungry.
A seed bank is a collection of viable seeds of common grains, vegetables, herbs, and fruits; many survivalists maintain such banks so that they can feed themselves if an apocalyptic event occurs or if oppressive forces attempt to wipe out those species.
So, what do you look for in the seeds?
You should look for: Non Hybrid seeds have always been the best considering their particular hardiness, dietary worth as well as possibility to generate crops which have viable seeds. So that you could benefit from this year’s crop by saving the seeds meant for following growing year.
Also I think that Organic is important also to ensure viable seeds for years to come.
Having a collection of Non-Hybrid, Organic seeds is a great way to ensure you will have food long term, no matter what happens. They are portable also so you can take them with you if you have to bug out and find a safer location to live.
Also it is a good idea to get a book about gardening, or somehow learn about gardening, so you know how to do it, what is required, how to harvest the seeds for your next growing season. What season to plant what, also which plants to grow next to each other or not to is important.
