Seeds in food storage?

Lately it seems I have been seeing a number of survival blogs recommending seeds as part of your preps. Not everyone has the time, space or talent to have a functioning garden. But should that stop you from adding seeds to your broader food storage?

One item to consider is that seeds have a limited (and varied) shelf life. Some good information can be found here

I feel my own gardening skills are severely lacking and the garden areas at my home have been neglected in the two years we’ve lived there. However, after I do some more research, I expect I’ll be adding a variety of seeds to our storage soon.

    Seeds make great barter items. They could also be useful in greenhouse growing, etc.

    If “investing” in seeds, it’s a good idea to get non-hybrids, so you can be self-sufficient in the event your seed-supplier becomes unavailable. There’s a real good package at

    I’ve heard that they are adding to it and lowering the price, so you might wait a week to order, and get the better deal.
