Sustainability: A way of living

I found these videos in my archives.  At the end of summer of 2013, a friend of mine gave us a bunch of peppers.  So many that we could not eat them all.  So my wife,Teresa said we could freeze them and use them in dishes over the year.  Well we took the seeds out for the replant for the summer of 2014, and was a great opportunity to teach the kids to harvest the seeds.  Real sustainability will come from harvesting your own seeds from the vegetable that you grow.  Of course you have to start somewhere.  So to get started I usually buy my seeds from the local seed and feed store.  And as you learn you can start putting up your own seeds.  I actually will start this in the summer harvest of 2015.  I hope to have all my vegetables grown from the seeds I harvested from our growth.

Also I have started videoing and have posted to youtube videos of Teresa cooking and prepping these foods. 



The video is at youtube under Michael Ryan "saving seeds for replant"
