It’s very cool to see so many of our local (PNW) seed farmers quoted in this article! It’s true that they are doing incredible work. Some of our farm friends are growing seed, sourcing heirlooms from other countries to trial them here (including all the customs logistics involved), and saving their own mutants. Some great companies to support for your winter seed buying:
Osborne Seeds Wild Garden Seed Uprising Seeds Baker Creek Seeds High Mowing Johnny’s Seeds
The past 2 years I have been collecting seeds from anything I can eat which produces seeds. (Because of cost and because the world is dying) Whether I've grown it or whether I bought it at the grocery store. Fruits, veggies, and what some would consider weeds in certain regions. From apples and cucumbers and jalapenos to cilantro (coriander) and wild mustard, chives. I've also been discovering what is actually edible that I would never have thought to eat. All those impossible to kill hostas in my yard are apparently pretty tasty.

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.
