  • It depends. My peas I kept going for a while saving seed, nearly four seasons. Last winter water got into my garden bin, and … the seeds didnt fair well at all, got moldy. So no peas this year

    My pumpkins do really well. I dont even save the seed, I just bury the seeds in fall with a bit of pumpkin flesh and they pop back up every year. This method seems to work well with cherry tomatoes too. It like forced volunteers. I encourage volunteers because they honestly seem to do best in my garden.

    Im not, uh, methodical about what I am doing, Id probably shock a serious gardener with how I go about it. I do buy starts in the spring usually. I used to start from seed every year, but I really just dont have the space in the house for it right now, it does annoy me. The day my son moves out, his room will be becoming my plant room lol.

    So I only plant seeds that can be sown directly outside in spring (like peas) and everything else is starts. Mostly growing potatoes this year. I put some eyed out potatoes I got from the store in the ground, and by god, potatoes are amazing.

    I do have some heriloom corn im growing for the first time. Im going to attempt to save its seed proper this year. Every year is a different expierement!

    how about you?
