I have a pint of turnip seed from last year, and about that much carrot seed from the year before. I’ll sure be missing the beet seed though.

That must be disappointing. I’ve never tried saving seed from any of the crops that need to overwinter. I may try saving radish seed this year by planting early (I guess I need to get going on that!) and putting the roots in the fridge for a few weeks for a pretend winter. Root crops wouldn’t survive outdoors over the winter so I’d have to store them indoors and plant them out again in the spring.

I grow radish seed. It bolts in June or July if I leave it in the ground where it grew… I say I aught to pull the roots and evaluate them for shape, but usually I just let them flower in place.
