Seed Saving Mandala

Saving seeds from your garden is becoming vital as GMO's invade our food system. Some seeds are easier to save than others, like squash, legumes, grains etc. When you cut open squash, peppers, cucumbers you can let the seeds dry or even plant them immediately and you can do this from even store bought organic foods. For legumes and grains, let some plants (choose strongest in variety) develop completely and die off before harvesting the pods and saving the seed. Here are a few pictures of seed life mandalas.

Here are the seed pods from Kale (brassica)
Most Brassicas will form pods after flowering stage. Let them fully develop and die (in a sense) before harvesting seeds
