Seeds Saving

Since last week, I have started my Project # 3  - Seeds Saving! Thanks to Hickery Holler I have started to save some seeds of Lemon, Orange-Color Bell Pepper (Paprika) and a handful of Pumpkin seeds! However, it has some weaknesses as I don't have any idea if the fresh produce I saved the seed from were hybrid or heirloom, let alone organic or pesticides-ladden! :-(  As far as I know that most of the vegetables we consume, those we buy from the wet market or supermarket, are traditionally grown - meaning: grown using pesticides and inorganic fertilizers. But, this is such a fun project for me, a way to learn and experiment. 

My indoor plants

Last Sunday, I bought a 15 kgs bag of organic compost which is made of organic waste and a packet of lemongrass seeds, and yesterday I scored 2 bags of soil. With these I think I can sufficiently start germinating the paprika, lemon and lemongrass, and will have enough soil for the tomatoes bedding. I only need to wait till they are 10 cm high before I can move them to a bigger pot. I plan to utilize an old bathing plastic pail for the tomatoes bedding. A frugal choice and it's also recycled! Yeeei!
