seed saving

Seed saving is a big part of reducing a garden's reliance on inputs.  Seeds cost money and gardening should be cheap!  In the case of these mammoth melting sugar snap peas we didn't get to harvesting them all while they were fresh so we decided to save some peas for seeds.  Once they are good and dried out we peel away the pea pod to collect the peas contained within.



We then separate out all the little ones (chuck them into the food forest which is abundant with volunteer plants) from the larger ones (which will be planted in a more strategic way at a later date).
