This is the first video in a 5 part series on seed saving for fruit and vegetable plants. In this episode (Ep1) I explain how I save the category I call “Dry Seed” from our food garden to grow more plants next season. The next episode (Ep2) details saving “Wet Seed” so make sure you also see this as all videos in this series are related. 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 🙂

Love-love-love the video
Hello, would you recommend drying seeds in a dehydrator (say at around 40 degrees, not too hot environment. Thanks.
Loving the intro
I love Australian culture and the people (and AC/DC!) but oof, I don't think I could take the climate or the plethora of deadly creepy crawlies such a climate fosters. I need that deep freeze that keeps the critters under control and makes spring all the more appreciated, and snow is a PITA but can also be a lot of fun.
I've been letting the best growing stuff to go to seed hoping to get something that is better for my grow area
Thank you. I needed this. I am tired of re-buying so many seeds. It will be nice to capture some of my own.
I love your content. Keep up the good work. Bless you!
God's amazing creation .
at 1 minute, I finally see a wide view of your space… you've got a palace for gardening!!!
This is my first year gardening and I'm LOVING IT! Already have a small collection of seeds growing ( I save everything I come across. lol) I've been doing a lot of research into the best methods and practices of seed saving and storage so I'll be eagerly waiting for the rest of this series.
Mark, you're just putting that seed in my mouth mate!
Thankyou!
How many people these days even know what lettuce or brassicas look like in bloom? Just letting a few plants go to seed rather than harvesting or cutting down everything is such an education. Nothing you'll ever see in the supermarket, or even farmer's market!
these dad jokes are too much, man… love the videos Mike!
Question do you have a video on how to store vegetables long term ? Things like pumpkin, potatoes,carrots, cabbage just so nothing gets waisted
Love the asparagus pic LMAO.
I am locally known as "the crazy seed lady" and it is a title I am very proud of. Folks, always ask locally on Facebook etc. for local seeds, people love to share and trade!
Will the scrunch and spread method work in very cold climates where the seeds might freeze? Or would it be better to collect those seeds and store them foe the next year?
What type winter does your area have? What zone are you in?
