Seed Sorting and Storing

The weather is getting a bit warm, and the snow peas have started to go to seed. I’ve decided to collect the seeds once again, and save them for either an Autumn garden, or for next year’s Spring garden.

Harvesting the seeds was easy-peasy… I picked a few pea pods for dinner, and left a few pea pods on the plant to grow. I let the peas grow as big as they could, and then I picked off the pea pods when the pod had dried. I then shucked out the peas, and dried them for several days.

I counted out the seeds, and put them in little envelopes to store for the next garden. I decided to take a little time and separate last year’s Green Bean seeds too. I had a bunch of them. I’m storing the seeds in a kitchen cabinet, so they aren’t too hot, or too cold. It was a fun little project to organize, and it has me thinking ahead to the next garden.
