Grow an Endless Garden | Start Saving Seeds Today Have you ever wondered what people did before seed packets? We take for granted that we can visit the seed racks at nurseries and big box stores and/or shop seed catalogs and websites. It's so easy to fill up a shopping basket with seed packets! Guess what? Saving seeds is not only NOT hard at all - it's fun! Let's start with a spring garden walk-thru, from a seed saving and food preserving perspective. Come on, let's go! The garden has been planted for a mere 3 weeks, a perfect time to take a peek. The plants are small in size, but BIG in potential.
