I'm not sure but ,if anyone else wants to learn about how to grow an organic garden with vegetables try Proutklarton Alive Products Plan (just google it )? It is a great one of a kind guide for discovering some powerful organic produce secrets using aquaponics minus the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my m8 got amazing results with it.
I am locally known as "the crazy seed lady" and it is a title I am very proud of. Folks, always ask locally on Facebook etc. for local seeds, people love to share and trade!
its very rare that someone comments years ago and still uploads regularly, you are going to be an incredible adult, it already shows that you are a good kid, good job!
I love that your 13 and learning to grow your own food. You will not go hungry. Plant lots of beans carrots potatoes and turnips rutabaga you can make soups. Grow dill rosemary and Basil. Good luck in your garden. I'm 75 and I've had a garden for 40 years green beans and tomatoes are the easiest to grow and lots of sweet peppers
A great informative seed saving video Mark. This will help plenty of new gardeners take that step to becoming more sufficient by keeping their own seed and not relying on what a company can produce. There are also added benefits to saving your own, The seed has already adapted to local conditions and environment, this will provide stronger plants next season and germination will be pretty much 100% guaranteed. Excellent information mate
I recently bought my first seeds and started them in little homemade newspaper pots, after a week or so they started sprouting and im hooked! I have no idea what to do with them since I don't have a soil or a spot built yet, but im addicted anyway...and seeing your amazing organized seed filing cabinet made my body tingle!!
a lot of dry seed pods actually snap open when they're dry enough flinging the seeds all over, some plants can fling their seeds a surprising distance too. it's better than just dropping them and pretty neat if you happen to see it happen(sometimes if they're almost ready you can give em a little poke and they'll pop).
I am not a big fan of radishes, so mine went to seed. I found that the birds just love the seed pods. I was happy to see that someone enjoyed my radishes!
ABSOLUTELY!!🌱 OF COURSE when we take 2 minutes to process how a seed is truly INCREDIBLE we will be amazed 👍 Then, we get to WONDER 🤔 "Hmmm...how could this "JUST happen?"
This is a great series, Mark. I know a lot of people would love it because they get to appreciate what they grow, harvest, eat and then save seeds even propagate plants for free. I enjoy collecting seeds from my vegetables to flowers. I started with a shoe box to store them in and now it has grown to a bigger storage container LOL.
Thank you SO very much for this series! I am a fledgling gardener/homesteader and I really want to practice using my own seeds for future garden generations.
We all start somewhere - you should have seen me in the early days of food gardening - no idea! Give the plants time they should eventually flower but if the season beats them, consider extending a few plants in containers in a warmer sport or covering with a mini hoop house etc and if that fails have fun searching for new seed online and buying it to plant next season - I love searching for new plants to grow! Cheers :)
Self Sufficient Me thank you, your reply means a lot. i live in indonesia, it's warm all year long. thank you, i will try to give it more time. thanks for all the advice, will try them all :)
Thanks from the uk! I’m absolutely OBSESSED with collecting seeds and keeping them in my own, hand made, original, triangular origami envelopes. Call me extra, ( cuz I am ) but I love homemade 😊
This is my first year gardening and I'm LOVING IT! Already have a small collection of seeds growing ( I save everything I come across. lol) I've been doing a lot of research into the best methods and practices of seed saving and storage so I'll be eagerly waiting for the rest of this series.
Looking forward to the series Mark. We grew 12 southern mustard green plants all throughout fall and winter this past year and they produced plenty of edible leafy greens. We then allowed just 2 out of the way plants to go to seed after watching your mustard video and it worked out very well, the flowers attracted all sorts of pollinators for us early this season plus we yielded an ounce (1.25) of seeds for growing next season.
I love your gardening videos. I live on the Gulf Coast of Tex’s so we don’t get a lot of cold weather either. Thank you for producing these informative videos. God bless you and your family.
Two thumbs up. :) I like to dry my spent flower heads in paper bags. Some plants like zinnias and marigolds and cosmos will self seed over winter. So I save some, and plant some in the fall and mix them up. They are lovely and attract polinators to the garden... I save my parsley seeds and other herb seeds in paper bags also. You can dry your herbs that way too. I do keep them in my spare room to keep my dear cats out of them. I did give you a thumbs up before when I watched this, and I felt like rewatching it tonight.
Hey Mark, for over 10 years I've been letting selected herbs and veges go to seed-saved and plant them out next season. I've noticed they have grown much bigger/healthier and more productive. They also seem more resilient to the many pests and fungal problems I had with the first few crops. Eggplant, Basil, Dill, coriander, chives, Beans, tomatoes, passionfruit. I always thin out and select the strongest seedlings to replant. Do you think plants can somehow build up immunity and climatize making each new seed stronger. I think so ?
Great video. I have done same process in my video with seeds saving tips for peppers, tomato and other vegetables. Thanks for tips and teaching as always!!
I'm really excited to see you post more videos. I find myself looking forward to them. I live in Central Florida and my weather is kinda similar to yours. We have 5 acres and have a large garden. We also are planting a "food forest" with about 30 tropical fruit trees so far. I try to follow suggestions you give. The only one I've had problems with is the ginger. I planted it in a large pot, watered it, and kept it in the sun...like I thought you did. Well, it didn't like the full sun. Had to put it in the shade. The summer sun is just too hot. Thank you for the great videos and the time you put into making them.
I am so grateful to know about the deacon radish seeds! Mine did not do well this year, so I pulled up the stems and I noticed the little growth on them. I did not know they were seeds. I ate them and I thought they were pretty good. I hope they are not poisonous! I'm glad to know they are not!! :)
Look at you with 125k subs. I'm so proud of you, Mark! You've earned every one. Love the info here. I've left my remaining lettuce, parsley, and dill go to seed and have a bunch saved up for next season. Looking forward to the rest of the series. ~ Lisa
Thanks for your videos Mark, I'm loving watching them. Just about to start the gardening journey and found your channel while doing research before I start.
Thanks Mark for your informative, very well done, engaging and entertaining videos. Of the several gardening channels on YT I watch, YOU are my goto source for real and practical gardening ideas and advice. I wonder if you will be discussing seed exchanges or trading as part of this series?
Thanks Joe! In the last episode, I will be mentioning it yes... At the end of Ep5 Cuttings and grafting I'll be wrapping up the series with some "general info and tips". Cheers :)
Please give us a vegetable garden 101 with info such as which veg can grow indoor which must be pollinated which can be grown in greenhouse and which can be grown from seed and how to harvest a variety of seeds such as cucumber cabbage greens tomato and how to amend the soil to bv get started. stuff like that and which one can handle chicken manure
Im glad to see these videos. I try to save all my seeds for everything I grow. I am trying again this year to try to get garlic seed (little black onion like seeds). Kindof tricky, you have to break off the bulbils and hope that the flowers develop and get fertilized. Anyway... you are the perfect guy to ask a question I had. Is there such thing as ginger seeds (not rhyzomes). I have seen ginger flowers, but cannot find anything about seeds. They must produce seeds if they have flowers? A tip i have for saving seeds is dont waste time cleaning the seed. With lots of plants i just stuff the mostly-dry seed/flower heads into a brown paper sandwich bag. Then they can dry out completly through the off season. Then when you go to use them just take them out of the bag and crush them up with your hand and blow away lots of chaff and put the rest in a jar. Then to plant the seed just sprinkle the dirty chaffy mix into the soil. Easy peasy. Great show btw. Really good stuff.
Great tips about saving and storing seeds thank you! Ginger seed is something I haven't really thought about, I must admit... and, I haven't noticed any seeds form after flowering either perhaps the purpose of the ginger flower is not to form seed but for something else? Cheers :)
I like the idea of just scattering the seeds and letting the crops come up naturally. Do you do any form of crop rotation? Thank you from a gardening newbie!
Omg I love ur seed catalogue lol that's a great idea in a filing cabinet. I just harvested 200 fuzzy hibiscus seeds from the flowers and 300 seeds from a dwarf black crepe myrtle..the sight of seeds it's burned into my head lol I wonder if U can tell me the germination rate for seeds that are still abit green(dry seed) inside??

my lupins did that 😊
Content is always worth the support, thanks always for the education
Thank you. I needed this. I am tired of re-buying so many seeds. It will be nice to capture some of my own.
I live in the northern hemisphere, and you have inspired me to make my own videos. I greatly appreciate your videos.
at 1 minute, I finally see a wide view of your space... you've got a palace for gardening!!!
I am not a big fan of radishes, so mine went to seed. I found that the birds just love the seed pods. I was happy to see that someone enjoyed my radishes!
I have been watching your videos for a while. But now my wife has just found your videos and she loves them keep the great work going.
ABSOLUTELY!!🌱 OF COURSE when we take 2 minutes to process how a seed is truly INCREDIBLE we will be amazed 👍 Then, we get to WONDER 🤔 "Hmmm...how could this "JUST happen?"

Wow! You're basically growing a better version of my local farmer's market! So cool!
I'm curious as to what you do with the abundance of food? Selling at markets maybe? Love the seed file idea 😀
Love your blog! Hard to find a good Aussie gardener, who is enjoyable to watch and also entertaining to listen to!
What a seedtastic video.
This video gives me "heaps" to think about! Thanks Mark, you're a great TH-camr!
Genius! I love the file folders method of organizing seeds
Thank you SO very much for this series! I am a fledgling gardener/homesteader and I really want to practice using my own seeds for future garden generations.
Pine Brooke Homestead me too, i'm still confused about how to make my plants "produce seed" , they are not flowering :(
I've used a bloom booster. I think it was from Miracle Gro iirc. That might help!
We all start somewhere - you should have seen me in the early days of food gardening - no idea!

I wish i had discovered your channel sooner, I could have grown food for so long, LOVE your videos!!!
Yes! GOD is great! We can save seed to replant later😊
AND, Bok Choi for bees! :-) Thank you, Self Sufficient Me!
What a great idea for storing your seeds, a filing cabinet amazing Mark..

I tried storing my pumpkin seeds in a dish in the open this year. Mice found them and ate them all!
I enjoyed the video.
Great video. I have done same process in my video with seeds saving tips for peppers, tomato and other vegetables. Thanks for tips and teaching as always!!
I can tell you really enjoy and love what you do and that makes your videos even more enjoyable
I just love your videos. The most edge of my seat learning of em all. For instance, to this one I’m glued. Thank you, always and forever!
A filing cabinet full of seeds you've harvested from your yard?? New goal unlocked.
I'm really excited to see you post more videos. I find myself looking forward to them. I live in Central Florida and my weather is kinda similar to yours. We have 5 acres and have a large garden.

What an excellent idea for a series, very informative and well made!
Mark I love your humour and you are the best farmer. Love from Malaysia.
Thanks again.I dig your humour 😂
fantastic, young guy, and trying to learn to garden at my new home, your videos have been great knowledge shared.
Great to know! I'm trying to encourage more younger people to get into self-sufficiency/backyard food growing so thank you for watching :)
i love saving seeds i think its fundamental to gardening!
great video mark and a really good idea to break up the series into specific sections. can't wait for the rest
Thanks Greg! :)
Radish pods are really tasty! Since I know that I don’t mind them bolting too much any more. 🤤
Weve bee using tea bags, the ones you buy to make your own tea, they allow air to circulate and easy to have then hanging on string to dry.
I am so grateful to know about the deacon radish seeds! Mine did not do well this year, so I pulled up the stems and I noticed the little growth on them. I did not know they were seeds. I ate them and I thought they were pretty good. I hope they are not poisonous! I'm glad to know they are not!! :)
Love this guy and his accent

Man I love your video openers! Keep it up Mark
Awesome video Mark. Thank you for posting.
I've been letting the best growing stuff to go to seed hoping to get something that is better for my grow area
Cracked me up in the first 2 seconds of the video. Well done, sir :)
Your very inspiring Mark 🙏🙏🙏
loving your expertise
Isn't it just delightful when you don't do anything for your plants and they regrow all on their own the next year!
The Buk choy reminds me of California mustard
I love your content. Keep up the good work. Bless you!
Interesting! Looking forward to this series. Thanks. 😊
Whatever question i have , you got the answer
Thank you
when are you going to do a video on air layering. Been researching, but want your view and explanation and experience to back it.
I like the idea of just scattering the seeds and letting the crops come up naturally. Do you do any form of crop rotation? Thank you from a gardening newbie!
Great subject. thank you, and look forward to the next part of the series
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
The intro is fantastic!
Well, it's seed saving time! Just learning, so already have done some of them wrong. Need all info I can get! Lol
