Seed Saving Secrets REVEALED: Grow Stronger Plants for Years | Lavanya Dravida Mantripragada

Hi everyone! 🌱 In this video, I’ll show you how to harvest and store seeds from your plants to use for years to come. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced gardener, these simple steps will help you save seeds the right way.

Seeds are miraculous little things if you ponder them... They contain the potential for a whole plant in a biological "time capsule". As gardeners in Europe and the Northern Hemisphere start planning their seed orders, it's a perfect time to learn more about germination. Germination is the term for an organism growing into a whole adult plant from a seed or a spore, and it is used scientifically to talk about fungi and bacteria as well as plants. A typical plant seed contains a plant embryo, food reserves, and a seed coat. Depending on the species, mature seeds can be stored for years since the plant embryo is in a dehydrated state of suspended animation.

In nature, germinating at the wrong time in unfavourable conditions could spell disaster for the new plant. Seeds rely on the signals from water, temperature, oxygen, and light.

Soaking seeds is an excellent way to start germination. The seed coat is gently scarified with sandpaper or a nail file to break the watertight seal and allow water to enter the seed interior. The seeds often double in size as their tissues soak up the water in a process called imbibition. Water activates hydrolytic enzymes which start the seed's biological metabolism.

Tree seeds from temperate climates usually need cold stratification to germinate. The seed is kept in soil at low temperatures around 4 C (like a fridge) for several months before returning to room temperature. This temperature change tells the seed winter has passed and spring has arrived. Simply leaving potted seeds in a cold frame overwinter is ideal in Europe.

Seeds along need oxygen since seedlings do aerobic respiration until they're mature enough to start photosynthesising. Hard packed or waterlogged soil may contain insufficient oxygen and stop seeds from sprouting. Many tree seeds need exposure to light through a thin layer of soil to let them know that there's a "clearing" in the forest.Most kitchen garden seeds do well with soaking and exposure to warm temperatures since they are originally tropical plants.

This plate of seeds was collected in January in Hyde Park, London.

This batch of caster seeds came from 4 ft underground while digging our cistern. Who knew seeds could last that long and still sprout so easily. I’d assume it took well over 50 years to create 4 feet of soil. There is no castle planted anywhere near this property. Go figure. Hope I get some more interesting surprises. #growninhaiti #castor #seeds #vintage #haiti #ayiti #fossil #viable #seedstorage #heirloom #organic #mountainlife

Pulling seeds for our first seed packet packing party tomorrow morning! My sister/designer is finishing some labels here in the basement seed storage room and we're about to head to print them! Soon, all these seeds will be stored in jars, and I'll have a few dozen packets of each variety ready to ship. #thingsarehappening #staytuned #startyourengines #seedkeeping #trueloveseeds #seedstorage

How were are temporarily storing our seeds. However I do like it like this, it keeps everything organized and in alphabetical order. Most all store bought but some peppers and tomatoes. We're hoping to start to be able to save our seeds this year or next. Gotta start sometime. #gardening #grow #gardenlife #garden #urbanhomestead #urbanhomesteading #selfsufficient #homegrown #vegetables #seed #seeds #seedsaving #seedstorage #growyourownfood #growwhatyoueat #eatwhatyougrow https://www.instagram.com/p/CBoMGiNlDLk/?igshid=17m60243sit6j

Workshop on seed storage units at BAIF campus

A workshop was held at the BAIF campus at Urli Kanchan, Pune, to update the stakeholders about the Centre’s project on Seed Storage Unit (SSU) and the experimental results. In an interactive session, suggestions were put forth by the attendee group of mainly agricultural scientists. Potential ways to scale-up and disseminate the SSU were also actively discussed, including targeting seed traders, seed companies, organizations involved in traditional seed storage, food producer companies and self-help groups.
