Preppers: Having a Well-Rounded Seed Stockpile

While doing a video for the Seed Stockpile Genetic Diversity article, I decided to take my entire seed inventory and lay it out on a table. The seeds were organized by type, such as beans, peas, corn, okra, melons, winter crops... etc.

Something I quickly realized, there are more pea and snap bean seed than anything else. Next was greens, such as turnip and mustard greens. Then came corn, squash and other types of summer crops. By laying out my seed stockpile, and organizing each group, I am able to see the gaps.

It became evident certain seed types were missing, such as preppers and spices. There were some cilantro, onion and bell pepper seeds, but stuff like Jalapeno peppers were lacking. Besides being a source of nutrients, such as vitamin C, peppers help spice things up.
