Unlike many hybrid varieties, these plants can produce seed that can be saved, replanted and gradually adapted to your local climate and soil.<\/p><p>Build your collection around foods you actually eat and plants suited to your region. Good survival-bank crops include:<\/p><p>\ud83c\udf31 Beans and peas \u2013 productive, nutritious and relatively easy to save seed from.<br \/>\ud83c\udf3d Corn \u2013 useful for fresh eating, drying and grinding, but requires careful seed saving to maintain a healthy variety.<br \/>\ud83e\udd6c Lettuce, kale and other leafy greens \u2013 valuable sources of fresh food and micronutrients.<br \/>\ud83e\udd55 Carrots, beetroot and radishes \u2013 excellent root crops, although saving seed requires learning their flowering cycles.<br \/>\ud83c\udf45 Tomatoes \u2013 highly productive, with many excellent open-pollinated varieties.<br \/>\ud83c\udf36\ufe0f Chillies and capsicums \u2013 compact, productive and easy to incorporate into everyday cooking.<br \/>\ud83c\udf83 Pumpkins and squash \u2013 nutritious, prolific and capable of storing for months after harvest.<br \/>\ud83c\udf3b Sunflowers \u2013 provide edible seeds while attracting pollinators and beneficial insects.<br \/>\ud83c\udf3f Herbs \u2013 basil, coriander, dill, parsley and other culinary herbs add flavour, diversity and useful flowers for insects.<\/p><p>But don\u2019t simply buy packets and forget about them.<\/p><p><strong>A real seed bank should be alive.<\/strong><\/p><p>Grow some of your seeds regularly. Learn how each plant flowers, pollinates and produces viable seed. Select seeds from your healthiest and most productive plants. Over successive generations, your collection can become increasingly suited to your particular growing conditions.<\/p><p>Store thoroughly dried seeds in clearly labelled, airtight containers in a <strong>cool, dark and dry place<\/strong>. Record the variety, harvest year and source. Different species remain viable for different lengths of time, so periodically germinate older seed and replenish your supply with freshly harvested seed.<\/p><p>Most importantly, <strong>share seeds and knowledge<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Swap locally adapted varieties with neighbours, friends, community gardens and seed-saving groups. A seed stored in one cupboard can be lost. A variety grown by dozens of people becomes far more resilient.<\/p><p>A Seed Survival Bank costs relatively little to establish, takes up very little space and can reproduce itself many times over.<\/p><p>It isn\u2019t only about preparing for catastrophe.<\/p><p>It\u2019s about <strong>food security, biodiversity, self-reliance and preserving something priceless for future generations.<\/strong><\/p><p>\ud83c\udf31 <strong>Save seeds. Grow food. Share abundance. Protect the future.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Build a Seed Survival Bank \ud83c\udf31 In an uncertain world, one of the most practical things you can store isn\u2019t [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_angie_page":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"page_builder":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health-environment","tag-organic"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
