Yeah you can! In fact, the lettuce in the video is from last year's home saved seed! It's pretty straight forward to do and I actually made a video on it! th-cam.com/video/FTWB41nqDOs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1O2P1-9XYDlr536A Only difficult thing is separating the seed from the "chaff" but it's not a big deal! 😊
The main reason I don't grow my own vegetables is because I live in an apartment and don't have a yard. I am considering growing tomatoes, chili peppers, and herbs in containers, however, but for now the start up costs of such a thing are out of my budget. Also, I live alone and am worried I might end up with more fruits or vegetables than I can handle if I grew my own.
@@MatthewTheWanderer I'm glad you're considering container growing! Herbs like sage do really well and the flowers are great. Gluts are definitely a problem but I find they help me be a bit more creative in the kitchen! This year I had a huge glut of radishes and ended up making Korean style pink pickled radishes. Which is now a favourite! Best of luck with the future growing! 😊
@@WiltshireVeggies Thank you! I am especially interested in chives when it comes to herbs. But, yeah, I suppose I should learn how to do pickling and canning if I ever start growing my own veggies.
If it was easy like everyone would do it 😂, it’s only us crazies that do it all. Have a nice week ps love the red lettuce trees, Ali ☔️☔️🇨🇦
Ha! I'm glad you noticed the red lettuce! I'm leaving them in until the first frost just because they're pretty! 😍
@@WiltshireVeggies they definitely are and can you save seed from them Luke?

The reason to grow your own food and be self-sufficient is always, zombie apocalypse
Definitely one of the 'other' reasons!
