Re: How do you grow plants to obtain sprout seeds?

[Guest guest]

You already have your list. Any seed you like to sprout, simply plant in soil

and allow it to mature. Every sprouting seed will make a plant and that plant

will make seed when it's old enough. Only thing to keep in mind is if you keep

different family members too close they may cross and hybridize. Example:

broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, radish....beet, chard....alfalfa, clover, bean,

pea....

You would just be doing some traditional gardening and going for seed harvest

rather than produce. Also, some crops will go to seed productin second year so

they will need to be overwintered somehow.

I keep rows of containers lined along my driveway for the sole purpose of

allowing the plants to bolt so I can get seeds. Here is a pic:

I just let the plants run wild-I have spring onions that are still producing

seed 5 years after planting! The plants will also drop seeds into their own pot

and keep regrowing.
