What if we all watched American Football in Minecraft to support charity?

Really useful stuff, a lot more plants are edible than people think!

Remember to try and use as many native plants as you can in gardening, many of them are more useful than you think.

Saving Seeds

There’s been a lot of talk about the availability of store-bought fruit and vegetable seeds. Some places have stopped selling them altogether. Some are hiking-up prices. In my area, they’re still pretty-well available... for now.

My suggestion to you, whether you plan on using them or not, would be to invest in a good variety of seeds. They’re too cheap not to.

- If you don’t plan on using them this year, store them in a cool, dry place.

- When packaging your seeds, be sure that they’re exposed to as little moisture as possible. Small glass jars or ziploc-type bags work well. Even Tupperware, if you can spare any.

- Even if you don’t use them this season, buying seeds is an investment in your future. Hell, you could use them as currency.

Here’s how many YEARS you can expect your seeds to remain viable, under the right storage conditions:
