Save Seeds & Grow Free Plants | How Our Garden Keeps Giving

What if next year’s garden has already begun and some of it won’t cost you anything? In this episode of Handmade Happiness, we’re talking about one of our favorite parts of growing a garden, discovering just how much abundance a single growing season can produce. We’re saving seeds, propagating plants, storing tubers, and finding ways to carry this year’s garden into the next. We share what we’re doing with okra, bok choy, snow peas, calendula, dahlias, garlic, and blackberry plants, including what we’re saving and propagating for next season and what we’re learning along the way. But this conversation is about more than getting free plants. We talk about how garden abundance creates opportunities to be generous with friends, neighbors, and other gardeners. The more we garden, the more we're realizing that next year's garden doesn't necessarily begin with a shopping cart full of seeds and plants. Sometimes it begins with what we're already holding in our hands. And perhaps that's one of the most beautiful things about growing your own food and flowers is that the garden often gives us more than we need and that gives us the opportunity to give some of it away.
