The Piggy Bank is designed for those desiring to become self-sufficient or who simply wish supplement their diet with fresh, nutritious, organic home-grown produce. Enough seed is provided for a year-round garden for two adults, along with an excess to hold in reserve in case a particular crop does not do well. However, persons looking at their seed bank as a food safety net in the event of an economic collapse or societal disruption should consider the purchase of a Lock Box. The larger bank will provide a greater cushion in the event of a crop failure or rabbit attack! Given that the seeds contained in this bank are heirloom varieties and not hybrids, you will be able to save seed that you grow each year to replant the following season. Therefore, you will never have to purchase seed again. Seed to Seed, a book describing how to properly save seed and maintain the purity of your heirloom breeds, may be purchased from the Texas Ready website. If you are not an experienced vegetable grower, we strongly suggest that you also pick up a copy of The Vegetable Gardener's Bible. We consider this book to be the Instruction Manual for our seed banks, as it provides detailed instructions on how to cultivate each variety in your bank (light, water and soil requirements; when and how to plant, etc.). You will find further targeted information on the Texas Ready website for those wishing to maximize their harvest and pursue a lifestyle of true self-sustainability. IMPORTANT NOTE - This Northern bank contains seeds that are suitable for growing in USDA zones 3-6. (If you are unsure which growing zone you are in, Google "USDA Growing Zone" + your zip code.) If you reside in Zone 7 or higher, please order a Southern bank.
