Saving Money By Saving Seeds For Next Season

in #ghsc6 years ago

Hey everyone! Even though gardening season is in full swing, it is never too early to start thinking about and planning for the garden next year. Well, we are doing just that in the form of saving seeds. Specifically, a type of green bean that we first tried this year.

With all the other plants we have growing and a few other project, it has kind of gotten forgotten. So long story short, the beans got a little too big and it was a great opportunity to save the seeds for next year. The main reason why we got them was to have access to pinto beans for refried beans and a few other recipes. This bean is called Ojo de Tigre. Here is a picture of the beans we are keeping as seeds.

We bought these from Baker’s Creek and they are really cool to see as shelled beans. We ate them fresh, but unfortunately we did not get enough to try them as a refried bean. We did really like them and so for next year, we are going to buy several more seeds. I apologize for such a short post tonight. We have spent the last couple of days canning pork and tomatoes, so I am hoping to a little more in depth post about that in the next day or two.

Thanks for reading and stopping by!

they look delicious! never too early to plan for next year :) my partner has planted some seeds for fall crops and i'm thankful he did! and hey! we shop at Baker Creek too! They're about an hour away from us.

That is really cool! We live several states away, but it would be nice to take an extended trip to visit Baker's Creek one of these days. We have just put out a few late crops within the last week as well and have been getting some much needed rain to get them started.

YUP! I've started doing some here too!
It's never-ending when gardening.

It's never ending, but with homegrown produce, I would not want it any other way. It is hard to beat those homegrown tomatoes. Haha!
