I have been growing multiple varieties of carrots that I like (and grow well in my area/soil) and keeping 1-2 of each variety to pollinate the next year. I’m on my 4th generation now of this. Just one plane makes thousands of seeds! Even 4 year old seed still germinates amazingly well. SHTF, and this stock of home grown seeds will be extremely valuable.

I should probably stock up on other seeds. I know a lot of people expanding or starting gardens. If they were producing seeds for a “normal year”, they will no doubt run out.
