Years ago, I saved seeds from the Early Girl hybrid, just to see what I would get. The fruit was on the small side, and not very pretty. But boy, its taste was fabulous!
I have saved seeds from my Calendula for more than 17 years. I have a lot of variety in them. All orange, orange with dark middle, yellow, yellow with dark middle, and orange filled bloom and yellow filled bloom. I thought the latter two were gone but this year they popped up. I'm so thrilled I have saved all of this diversity in my garden. I'm considering adding to my genetics next year with some different-looking calendulas. Just for fun :D
Thank You Gardener Scott, I absolutely Love the Landrace Concept of gardening, I just started embracing this method on a small scale a few years ago and I love it. Your Explanation of landrace Gardening was perfect and I will now refer my friends and Family to this video to help them with understanding the basic Landrace concept. You have a way of explaining complicated topics in a clear, concise and relaxed way that makes it so easy to understand. I document my saved seeds with a photo and brief description of the fruit or vegetable I saved the seeds from. In This description I include Date harvested, Taste profile and color, and any other reason I saved it. I just attach the printed pic with the description to the seed envelope and store them in a dry cool place. I love that you mentioned to share seeds among, Friend, Neighbors and family in the area to increase the genetic stock you have, I do believe this is what gardening is all about; Friends, family, and Neighbors working together to feed, to share common interest and help each other however possible.. Thank You my friend for making this world a better place with your awesome TH-cam Videos..
I just read Joseph Lofthouse's book on this a few weeks ago and have been thinking about how to start trying this in my small (50x100') garden. Thanks for addressing the concept!
I am attempting to landrace my vegetables. I am glad when they cross pollinate.
This is very similar to how I garden. I am a bit of a chaos gardener but also I use the seeds from what I've grown to plant the next season. Some of my seeds are from several generations. I only provide water, deep mulch, and some pull and drop weeding or top dressing with cut grass, leaves, etc. Many of my plants come back on their own year after year such as tomatoes, watermelons, all kinds of squash, greens, etc. I'm zone 6 in the sw plains.
This is what I love about gardening. I learn every day. I have never heard of Landrace gardening. This is intriguing.
My parents have a 7 or 8 acre field they ignore, next year, I'm planning on trying 6 to 8 types of Landrace plots... Gonna let them go and repeat for a few years to see what I get.
Squash vine borer takes out every squash I plant except a large pie pumpkin I got from a local farmers market. Been saving seeds for years now and they are the only ones that live long enough to produce.
I saved black cherry tomato seeds from a grocery store variety pack. I suspect "Midnight Snack" variety. Year 1 with those seeds and they were exactly the black tomatoes as expected. Year 2 planting the seeds harvested from year 1, and both my plants turned out red cherries and don't have the characteristic star pattern on top. I guess it's a hybrid, but I'm surprised it worked out so well the first time.
OMG this is great information. I moved all my cherry tomatoes away from one another this year because I had chocolate cherries and bumblebees that cross-pollinated into something of a hybrid pureed they both tasted delightful but I wanted the difference visually. I will try this next year and hopefully be successful thank you again for all your great information.
Thanks for all your great videos. I tried planting my tomatoes in larger containers and at the same depth this year, like your video. They were weeks ahead of everyone else in my gardening club this year. 👍
I have giant garlic simply by selecting the best ones and replanting them every year. So big I often get asked if they are elephant garlic. Nope, just saved the seed from the original F1 parents. I want to hybridize my artichokes to Colorado climate. I'm saving green globe seeds and crossing them with a Colorado star. The best way to stabilize this hybrid once it grows is to keep planting F1, F2, and the hybrid until I find a plant that suites my growing needs. Super fun garden nerd stuff.
Saving a pepper seed and finding out it's a hybrid is always exciting and a joy (as long as you don't get a hot pep you think isn't hot). I hope for hybrid peppers. Not as much for my tomatoes, don't wanna end up with red or yellow cherokee purples toms.
Great video as always Gardner Scott! I did this a few years ago with true potato seed (not seed potatoes). Now I have a variety that no one else in the world has. It's nothing special (it's a potato after all lol), but it is more or less adapted to my climate by now and a truly unique spud.
unless youre gardening for money, i dont see the issue with cross pollination, just take what you end up with
Thanks for your videos, and spreading the knowledge.
When you find 'volunteer' plants growing in your garden or field -- those are the hardiest stock because they survived on their own so save seeds from them. What I've seen and done with Landrace: First year focus on the survivors, second year focus on heavy producers, third year focus on selecting which ones taste the best (those are likely to have the highest vitamin content). When you buy new seed, you are getting seeds that survived the seed producer's farming process (typically high fertilizer and chemicals) and thus they will struggle in a typical garden unless you match the techniques. I garden with no fertilizers nor chemicals and thus I'm forcing the plants to acclimate to the wild country.
Didnt know this happened but i have never saved seeds before from anything. Maybe i will give it a try.
another great vlog made easy
