I remember lots of the old timers in Texas putting them in the freezer.. I never have. <br /><br />I enjoy seeing how you save your seed. I've always saved some, but not all that I plant. Mainly I save tomato, pepper, & okra seeds. I've saved a few other beans Scarlet Runner & Greasy Beans and used to save another heirloom seed but I've lost it now. :( KimHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515650243247221967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-41162748700509340382013-08-31T08:47:53.115-05:002013-08-31T08:47:53.115-05:00I am pleased to see you doing it Granny Pruett'...I am pleased to see you doing it Granny Pruett's way...except for the vacuum.

Mostly tomato & pepper seeds so far. Can't wait to grow beans & corn to save some from those as well.DFWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18345712839702427280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-5677721151984803342013-08-31T07:23:28.846-05:002013-08-31T07:23:28.846-05:00We put them in ziplock bags, then store them in 5 ...We put them in ziplock bags, then store them in 5 gallon buckets with a gamma seal lid, tucked under a shelf in our storeroom.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing.

If we don't store them in a jar, they are stored in the freezer. I am just hoping that our garden will do better next year.

Since then, saving seed each year has become a regular part of our gardening and preserving routine. Christmas lima beans, white half runners, crookneck squash, cow horn okra, different types of crowder peas, Candy Roaster squash, etc. It's always fun to try a new type of seed, and it's great when we are given a new type of seeds from friends.Stephany Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12062882715259763255noreply@blogger.com
