Seeds are a great big pain
Attempting to create order Sorting of seeds last year was a melange of the best of intentions meeting with the stark reality of not having enough time or resources to do it right. Luckily, the outcome of last year's attempt informed the changes I made this year.

Last month, I sat down and resolved to sort through boxes and bags of seed packets, envelopes, etc. One of the things I learned about saving seed: I don't need to save pounds of bean seeds. Even a nice wide row (over-planted in the extreme) of bean seeds couldn't consume 1/100th the amount of seeds I had saved. Luckily, bean seeds are mighty tasty after an hour in the Instant Pot. The grocery bag full of lupine seed was a whole different issue. In early November, most of the pods were still tightly clamped around their tiny black seeds....
