This is the third video in a 5 part series on seed saving for fruit and vegetable plants. In this episode (Ep3) I explain how I save the category I call “Wet Seeds” from our food garden to grow more organic plants next season. The next episode (Ep4) details saving “tubers, rhizome, runners, bulbs, suckers” and the previous episode (Ep2) https://youtu.be/DbWgNXIG7RQ was on saving Wet Seed so make sure you see all episodes as all videos in this series are related. Happy gardening, cheers 🙂

Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂

What do I do if I have to save a citrus seed to use next year, will the seeds be able to germinate if I save them dry?
I had an Advacado tree that i grew from seed for 15 years and it never even looked like getting a fruit.., and I live in an area where they grow.., the reason.., it was seed grown and not a graft. 🙁
my grandfather "farmer" says that sometimes, you need to stress the trees to get it to fruit, slight heat from a near fire, chopping some brunches during summer, the next season fruits appear !
Thanks for saving me so much frustration and wasted effort trying to grow Calamansi from seeds.
Hey Mark. Can you grow fruit trees from cuttings?
How do you feel about getting scions from a tree orchard and rooting them? Do you find that works well?
Hi I love your videos you’re a real inspiration to me, you inspired me to be more self sufficient and start my own garden and even raise my own chickens. Anytime I have a question you already have a video that will help me answer it. Here is my dilemma. Growing up my parents neighbor has the most delicious orange tree, I went to visit my parents and they gave me some of her oranges she shared. Now that I have my own land I want to try to duplicate her orange tree. Her oranges are the juiciest, thin peel, sweet and tangy oranges that leave your fingers smelling like orange extract! Her oranges BARELY have seeds. I was able to get 6-7 seeds out of 10 oranges. Now I feel discouraged to even attempt it. I can never find these oranges in stores and watching your video I feel they might even be Washington Naval but I’m not sure. What should I do?
Should I try the seeds and risk it not even fruiting or changing… is it possible to clone her tree from a branch? How can I find the exact name of her tree and look to buy one? She doesn’t know the name it was there long before her. It’s a short tree, probably only 7 feet high. It gives SOOOOOO many oranges from spring to fall. Each orange on average is about the size of a racquet ball, smaller than a tennis ball. It would be a dream for me to have this kind of tree, it’s the only orange I like to eat and my wife loves making fresh squeezed juice. Thank you!
So bottom line, don't bother saving those seeds. Unless just want to grow something as an experiment. I save my seeds in the freezer and use in jam making.
Very good
Despite how much I read on gardening, I always learn something new from your videos! Thank you!
these videos came right on time!
Learned alot from you. Keep it up. 🙂
If we shouldn’t grow our own trees from seed, then how do the pros at the nursery do it?
Dammit , english subtitle is broken!!! I cant hear!!! Italian setting is bs!!

me: nooo don't chuck it away
Mark: "i'll eat it though"
me: oh ok
it's like he knows what i was going to say lol
I heard trees planted from seed without transplanting have better roots that can reach very deep.
What about the nut trees
Wow I never knew they shipped tree's in a box. The world is full of business success and guidance.
Our creators first language is a story of a gardener growing a garden if you look up the first language you'd see this. Yahuah spoke this language to create everything. It's the pictograph first any language…
Nice episode
The problem with the dwarf pomegranate is that it does not taste good. Is there a variety of pomegranate which grows true to type and tastes good?
Thank you so much for sharing!
both citrus and mango can produce polyembrionic seeds, where two or more seedlings develop from one seed, , the seedlings are clones of the parent plant thus being identical to the parent . in some cases one of the seedlings may be a regular sexually produced plant
