Hi and welcome to this edition of Prepper Dan on the Road. Join me as we go to Sussex,
00:00:14.240
New Brunswick to meet up with Patrick and Eliza of Rainbow Seeds who've partnered with us with
00:00:19.440
Action for Canada. We're going to get a tour of their facilities and let me tell you they're
00:00:24.680
well stocked with a lot of seeds this time of year. And we're also going to get a crash course
00:00:31.400
on how to properly store seeds for the long term. So it's going to be an exciting adventure. So let's
00:00:38.760
hit the road and let's head up to New Brunswick for this exciting adventure. I'm glad you're with us
00:00:43.860
today. All right, welcome friends to another episode of Prepper Dan and I'm here today in
00:00:49.980
Sussex, New Brunswick with Patrick and we're going to be doing a special episode to you
00:00:58.460
with you folks today. And Rainbow Seeds is partnered with Action for Canada and they have a huge
00:01:04.900
selection of heirloom non-GMO seeds. And we're going to be talking a little bit more about that
00:01:09.900
in just a little bit. We're going to give you a little tour in a bit, but we're going to be talking
00:01:14.140
about preserving your seeds for long term. And it's such an important topic and it's something
00:01:20.560
that I've been wondering about because a lot of times, you know, you get a lot of seeds in your
00:01:24.540
packets and you're not going to use them all maybe because you have a smaller garden. But so I'm going
00:01:30.560
to turn this over to Patrick and we're going to move the camera over a little bit, but we've got some
00:01:35.340
beautiful looking seeds here and we're going to learn how we can preserve these for the long run.
00:01:41.740
Okay. So let's just move things around and we'll get going. Okay, Patrick. So I see you've got some
00:01:49.880
equipment here. This looks like a vacuum sealer, right? So why would it be important to preserve
00:01:56.480
seeds in a vacuum sealer? Well, a lot of our customers that buy the heirloom seeds from us,
00:02:06.360
they say, how do we store these seeds until it's time to put them out into the garden?
00:02:11.740
And most of the time we say, put them into a plastic container, not at the floor level because
00:02:22.300
humidity goes towards the floor, right around waste level in a cool spot of their house. So maybe it's
00:02:30.180
a pantry on the north side of their house, but we never had like a perfect solution for everybody.
00:02:36.560
Some people are in an apartment, they have controlled temperatures. Maybe their apartment is
00:02:43.240
just 75 Fahrenheit, 21 Celsius throughout the entire apartment and they don't have a good solution.
00:02:52.660
So just, you know, one day we're thinking, well, the vacuum seal option is neat
00:03:00.560
to keep moisture from getting at the seeds. And there's one of the sprouting seed companies
00:03:12.120
on their website. It says you can store your seeds in the freezer and the refrigerator. And we found
00:03:20.380
this interesting. So we said, well, how can we do that with the vacuum sealer and perhaps even
00:03:27.000
preserve them for a long time. So Seed Savers Exchange, which is a great company in the United
00:03:33.680
States, uh, it's a nonprofit and they preserve heirloom seeds and they were putting onion seeds
00:03:41.360
into a refrigeration unit. Uh, this was really neat. Uh, they were storing onion seeds, which
00:03:48.100
typically lasts for about one year. Uh, they're German, they can germinate after one year of
1.00
00:03:55.700
storage, typical storage, but they were able to keep those onion seeds so they could store for
00:04:01.120
several years. Yeah. So basically, uh, Seed Savers Exchange was, was doing a video on how to store
00:04:07.960
onion seeds for a long time. So we said, okay, what are the different uses for this? We, we not only
00:04:13.920
solved a problem with the vacuum sealing, the seeds to, uh, say preserve onion seeds for an extra year
00:04:21.580
or two. Uh, but also, uh, if somebody's, you know, prepping for what's happening in the world right now,
00:04:30.500
maybe they just want an insurance policy on, uh, being able to garden if supply chain breaks down.
00:04:37.920
Uh, if, uh, if, uh, if we see supply chain controls, if we see people coming in and speculating on seeds,
00:04:46.180
uh, we, we get phone calls all the time, uh, from New York city, the middle East, uh, everywhere.
00:04:55.240
And, and these calls are, we want all your seeds. They, they just want to, you know, they're speculating
00:05:04.120
that these heirloom seeds are going to be worth more money or, uh, maybe it's just wealthy buyers
00:05:11.040
and they're doing the same thing. They're thinking, okay, we will vacuum seal them. And, uh, and, and that's
00:05:19.200
it. Right. So, uh, that's what we're working on anyways. Uh, and today we're going to show that.
00:05:26.240
Okay. Okay. So we're going to demonstrate, uh, we're going to demonstrate how to vacuum seal,
00:05:34.580
uh, bean and pea seeds. The reason why we're going with beans and peas is because these seeds are not
00:05:43.440
sharp in any way. And, and what you're going to see right here is when you vacuum seal the seeds,
00:05:51.540
it really gets tight and right on the seeds. And if you have a sharp seed, like there's one little
00:05:59.720
spot right there where one of the sharp seeds actually poked through the plastic. And, uh,
00:06:08.620
so if you do that, you're going to lose your vacuum seal. This, the seeds can be exposed to moisture
00:06:15.440
and we don't want, want that to happen. So, uh, when you're vacuum sealing your seeds,
00:06:22.080
we are looking for mainly the seeds that don't have any sharp edges. And if they do have sharp edges,
00:06:31.880
what you should do is just put something in the package to, uh, uh, almost like cushion that,
00:06:40.660
that seed, you know, maybe, uh, a couple of pieces of paper or a cardboard or something like this,
00:06:48.620
when you go to vacuum seal it. Right. So that's good advice. Yeah. So, uh, so now the first thing
00:06:55.600
we're going to do is we're going to flip these over. You can do that one, this one,
00:07:08.340
okay. So now we're going to put them right beside each other. The reason why we're, uh,
00:07:17.400
we're going to apply tape to this. The reason why we're doing it is, uh, so when we put it into
00:07:23.300
the vacuum seal bag, they're not all falling apart and, uh, uh, kind of, uh, just being a real mess.
00:07:32.980
So we just put that tape across there. So does it make a difference if they're in plastic bags
00:07:40.900
like that or if they're in a paper packets? No, no, no difference. Yep. Okay. So we have two,
00:07:48.540
uh, two pieces of tape going that way. And then we do two this way. It's just to keep it
00:07:57.040
just all together. Let's see if this works. Now you want to maybe get on that end and let's flip
00:08:06.540
it towards you. Okay. So now it's kind of holding together better. We did the same thing with this
00:08:14.300
and you can use double sided tape or whatever, but really you don't have to do that. You could just
00:08:21.020
do a stack of seed packs. It's not going to matter how thick it is. We do it like this because if we
00:08:27.940
want to mail this to somebody, uh, we can put it in an envelope
00:08:32.160
like this and there we go. Yeah. Right. Yeah. So it fits. So it's easy.
00:08:40.840
Okay. So let's see, see what we're going to do here. So this vacuum sealer, is this something that
00:08:53.020
can be picked up locally or? Yeah. We, we, we won't say that the company that sells it, but it,
00:09:01.680
anybody can buy it anywhere. So we look for, uh, whatever supplies that we can always get.
00:09:10.840
Right. So like we don't want to get a, uh, say a vacuum sealer, uh, from an obscure company that
00:09:19.380
almost nobody's ever heard of. Right. We want a, a best of breed type company that we're buying this
00:09:26.220
from so that we can always get these same bags. And if, and if we need to, sometimes people use a
00:09:33.260
couple of these, it's actually beneficial while one's warming up, you can do the other one and seal
00:09:39.460
that one and then switch over here. So like, for example, we might have orders, uh, 280 vacuum
00:09:48.000
sealed bags and we want it to be a quick process. We don't want it to take a week to do it. So if we
00:09:55.140
can get that done in a day or two, this, this is really beneficial. So having multiple, uh, vacuum
00:10:01.840
sealers is good. All right. So, uh, so we're going to measure. So usually we go, it's about an inch
00:10:09.280
over the edge from this seam. So we have a seam right here. I don't know if you can see it.
00:10:15.800
There's the seam. So that's where this is going to go into. And then we, we want to measure about
00:10:22.000
like an inch beyond, you know, a couple of centimeters at least. So we're at about, actually
00:10:28.880
we could go to 37 right there. And, uh, even if we look at this, we're, we're at about 35, but we can
00:10:42.020
fold over the edges if we need to ship it. So, so that works now for, for, uh, what we're using this
00:10:51.860
for say, this is to go in your refrigerator or freezer. So this is for like long-term storage.
00:10:59.120
So you don't have to focus so much on the, the envelope. This would just, you just take this,
00:11:06.360
throw it in your freezer or throw it in your fridge, maybe in your crisper. Uh, and, uh, you could,
00:11:14.420
you know, double protect it, throw it in a Ziploc if you want, uh, keep it from getting light,
00:11:20.900
the things that, uh, affect germination on seeds, light temperature and moisture. Okay. So you block
00:11:31.520
that moisture, you block that, you know, humidity, uh, keep that temperature low. Some seeds actually
00:11:41.100
cannot be frozen. Most of those seeds are around the equator. So, uh, so this was 30, 30, let's
00:11:53.080
see, 35, yep. 35. All right. So let's bring that up. What's your thoughts? You got it? Okay.
00:12:11.100
35. That lever there's what cuts the bag. Okay. So now we've got our bag size. Just flip this sideways.
00:12:27.440
And you can kind of pull on that bag to get it all in there. Uh, let's put this one in a little bit
00:12:46.580
further. There we go. So they're both, both lined up here. So that gives us our roughly one inch
00:12:56.960
over where we want to seal it. Did we go far enough?
00:13:15.180
Okay. So there's a lever on the side and we're just clicking that into place. Right.
00:13:20.140
Okay. And, uh, and being a vacuum sealer, it's going to suck all the air out. That's it. There it goes.
00:13:43.120
Maybe, uh, I mean, it's definitely good enough. Maybe, uh, the, uh, envelope or the bag. Let's see if
00:14:00.220
it, no, we've got the seal right above it. All right. And then it burns the top to seal it
00:14:06.420
shut. Yeah. It just heats that line, but we barely, like you can see the bag. We barely
00:14:15.060
got it below. So we, I think we needed to go just a teeny bit longer. Yeah. You can
00:14:20.660
always trim these edges. Right. After. And are these resealable?
00:14:32.820
Well, it does a nice job. So this is good enough for storage for a long time. Yeah. This,
00:14:41.300
this will probably last you 50 years in a refrigerator. Okay. Like that's longer than
00:14:48.660
I will be around. Yeah. I mean, so many uses for long-term storage of seeds. So what we came
00:14:59.540
up with, we said, all right, so we're going to take our heirloom seed varieties are open
00:15:04.040
pollinated. So you can save those seeds and we're going to do a seed bank. Okay. And we're
00:15:10.720
going to let everybody have a seed bank instead of depending on somebody else to have a seed
00:15:16.540
bank. Okay. So, uh, we'll just offer all the different varieties and, uh, we'll, we'll
00:15:23.120
do, you know, some that were, are all heirlooms because some people want all heirlooms. Right.
00:15:29.760
We'll do, uh, others that are just like, this one is herbal teas, all the different herbal teas.
00:15:38.800
Nice. And this is our best seller, uh, this year. And some people, uh, you know, they're,
00:15:45.700
they're making money from doing herbal teas, but you know, if a supply chain goes down and
00:15:52.500
what tea are you going to get? You're not going to get black tea from India. That's right. That's,
00:15:56.960
that's the end of that. Right. So Patrick, can you grow herbal teas indoors or do they have to be
00:16:01.660
grown outdoors? Oh yeah, absolutely. Indoors. Okay. Uh, the fennel is going to be a little bit
00:16:07.100
bigger though. Right. So the borage is going to be very big. Okay. Right. Uh, that plant is about,
00:16:14.920
I don't know, two and a half feet tall. So the, you know, you probably a greenhouse would be good
00:16:23.140
for the fennel and the borage stuff like the lemon bomb, B bomb. You can do those in a house,
00:16:28.660
house plant. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Peppermint. You could do that. Yeah. Probably in a greenhouse.
00:16:33.980
That's probably going to come up to two and a half feet tall. Okay. Also. Yeah. And, uh, you know,
00:16:42.340
some of these, even though they might be annuals, it's not going to matter if you're growing them
00:16:46.900
indoors, uh, you have the right amount of light. Uh, so, you know, a lot of people,
00:16:52.860
they bring in house plants, they want to make more oxygen in their house and all of this. They
00:16:57.080
want to clean the air. Uh, if you want the plant producing more oxygen, all you do is have a strong
00:17:05.280
light on it more hours of the day. Yeah. So if you want, uh, let's see, 24 hours in a day. So it has
00:17:13.160
to be more than 12 hours. So it's producing oxygen more than carbon dioxide. Okay. Okay. One,
00:17:20.760
one other thing I'd like, um, you to discuss a little bit, Patrick is, um, seed sprouting. I know
00:17:27.640
I've had off and on luck with seed sprouting and I know that there's, uh, probably a right way of
00:17:34.580
doing it. And, uh, your wife is just showing me this very fancy little jar that you have here.
0.99
00:17:39.760
So tell me a little bit about this. What, what are some tips that you would give? Cause I,
00:17:45.460
I purchased your, uh, seed sprouting packet and, um, I know it's always nice to have some fresh
00:17:52.780
sprouts to put on your, I call my ham and cheese sandwich, give it that crunch. So what's,
00:17:59.200
what's a good way to do sprouts? Uh, well, there's a few, a few things you need to know. So
00:18:06.740
say it's pea sprouts, you're using just standard peas. My wife's bringing, uh, yellow peas. This is
00:18:14.060
what we use here. So here's a standard yellow peas. Now, uh, these actually have a higher germination
00:18:25.900
on the second year after harvest. Okay. Uh, so we have a friend, uh, he's in his eighties. He's retired
00:18:34.460
now. He was, uh, doing peas and beans. And he was explaining to us that they have pores that allow
00:18:42.700
the water to come in and these pores open up, uh, over time as the seed ages. So, uh, second year
00:18:52.980
better germination. So you don't really need to, to worry too much about, uh, the germination getting
00:19:01.060
worse for peas so much in the first say four years. Okay. Right. They're, they're going to do well.
00:19:07.500
Uh, the other thing is if it is a first year pea and those pores are tight, right? Your germination
00:19:16.320
is going to be slower. Okay. So the, what I was saying before, what affects germination, temperature,
00:19:23.740
moisture, uh, light with, uh, sprouts, microgreens, actually they don't need that light for the first,
00:19:31.980
I think it's three or four days. So they don't need it. Uh, it actually, I think they produce
00:19:38.500
better. What they do is for sprouting trays is they'll, they'll cover a tray with sprouting seeds,
0.98
00:19:46.880
uh, water it, and then put a tray on top of it to actually block the light. So the light is not
00:19:55.040
necessary. If anything, uh, having no light for the first couple of days is going to benefit,
00:19:59.760
benefit the, uh, the sprouting. Uh, the other thing it needs a good soaking. So
00:20:06.040
yeah, I've heard 12 hours, uh, but yeah, it's, it's not like that. So when we're,
00:20:17.180
when we're soaking seeds to go out into the garden, um, if we're soaking those seeds for two hours,
00:20:24.360
warm water, you're not going to want to use cold water. Okay. It should be warm water. If,
00:20:29.760
if we're soaking them for more than two hours, by the time I get done telecasting those seeds out in
00:20:35.360
the garden, uh, they're already starting to get mushy. And so it's going to be the same thing for
00:20:41.420
sprouting. So in my opinion, uh, I would say two to three hours, that's your soak time. And, uh,
00:20:50.640
so yeah, so there, there's going to be a, a re repeat of that. So, but, but for different purposes,
00:21:00.760
this is for germination purposes. Uh, these seeds are going to go into this jar. You're going to fill
00:21:07.240
that jar with water and, uh, and that's your soak time. And the jar just stays straight up and down
00:21:15.660
like that. And the peas are soaking in water. Uh, once you're two, three hours is done, then, uh,
00:21:23.620
you just, there's a drainage point on the jar, right? And, uh, you put this either
00:21:32.160
in your sink or somewhere where the water can drain out and, and then those, those seeds will get a
00:21:41.120
chance to germinate. Uh, if you have, um, if you have a light bulb or something that you could put
00:21:51.060
on them, warmth speeds up that germination. Okay. So what, what happens is the, the warmer the
00:21:59.300
temperature, the faster, the germination, but your germination rate goes down. So say you take your
00:22:09.220
time and you want this to germinate, say in a day or two, and you're just keeping it at 65 Fahrenheit,
00:22:19.640
uh, 18 degrees Celsius. So you're going to get a higher germination rate. Maybe it's going to be
00:22:27.520
anywhere between 95, a hundred percent, right? It's going to be right in there. But if you put a,
00:22:36.480
you know, some, like a heat lamp or something on it, it's going to germinate real fast,
00:22:41.260
but your germination rate might go down to say 92 to 95%. It's not going to be huge swings, but,
00:22:49.480
but the temperature will speed it up, but you won't get as many germinating. That's pretty much the way it
00:22:56.780
is with all, all the seeds that we deal with. Uh, funnily enough, our tomato seeds, people would
00:23:04.400
think that they need to, uh, have a warmer temperature to germinate. We do our germination
00:23:10.360
test at 55 Fahrenheit, uh, 14 degrees Celsius for tomatoes. Okay. Now for sprouting seeds, can you mix
00:23:17.980
different seeds at the same time or do you recommend just doing one variety? Yeah. Yeah. So we have a
00:23:24.620
crunchy bean mix. Yeah. And, uh, yeah, you can, yeah, it's got lentils in it. You can mix beans. Yeah.
00:23:31.740
Yeah. You mix them all together. Uh, not a problem, but so say you have, uh, all right, we have peas and we
00:23:41.400
have beans. So the peas are a cold weather crop. The beans are not right. So these can germinate at a
00:23:48.660
lower temperature, whereas the beans don't typically. Okay. So, uh, one of the biggest mistakes people
00:23:55.940
make with say grow towers is they'll put lettuce on their grow tower and maybe a warmer crop. I don't
00:24:05.180
know. I I'll just say peppers. I don't think people are growing peppers in their grow tower,
00:24:09.880
but I'm just going to use that extreme, the lettuce. You can throw lettuce seeds on the snow.
00:24:16.100
And, and as soon as that snow melts, those lettuce are going to start to sprout, right? You can't do
00:24:22.480
that with pepper seeds. And so when you grow them in a grow tower, you've got a very steady temperature.
00:24:28.620
It might be warmer. It might be 75, 80 Fahrenheit, uh, 26, uh, Celsius, some, somewhere around there.
00:24:36.920
And, uh, yeah, you're going to get different germinations. It's not going to work,
00:24:42.580
right? You're, you're going to want to try to have similar, uh, germination temperatures,
00:24:50.400
uh, similar, similar crops, you know, try not to make sure cold weather crops with your,
00:24:56.820
your hot weather crops. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Eggplants like that too. It needs heat.
00:25:02.640
Uh, Patrick, tell me about, um, people ordering seeds from rainbow seeds, uh, through action for
00:25:10.760
Canada. Right. Yeah. So we're very fortunate to be able to support action for Canada. This is
00:25:18.760
incredible. I, you know, we were, we were thinking about, you know, doing stuff with YouTube channels
00:25:25.120
and stuff like that. But, uh, uh, uh, when I met Dan, uh, uh, you know, almost like a light bulb went
00:25:33.280
off. We said, wow, we can, we can almost share our company, right? That's what we're doing. So if,
00:25:41.140
uh, we, we give Dan a, uh, 10% coupon to offer to everybody on, uh, the action for Canada network.
00:25:49.640
And, uh, when this happens, we'll get that order from these, from these people. And, and, uh, we know
00:26:00.820
where they came from, came from Dan's YouTube channel, or it came from action from Canada, other,
00:26:07.240
uh, other, uh, videos that they've produced, you know, and, uh, we keep track of it. And 40%
00:26:16.860
of that revenue, uh, of the subtotal, right? We, we don't give them 40% of the GST or the, uh, or the
00:26:26.780
shipping, but 40% of that revenue. We then pass over as a, uh, a marketing cost for us, but it
00:26:37.060
actually supports action for Canada, which is brilliant. Uh, it's kind of nice. We were, we're
00:26:43.840
wondering, my wife and I were wondering how do we, uh, transition our, our company. You know,
00:26:50.660
sometimes you get tied up in business and getting tied up in business is, uh, I don't know. It's,
00:26:57.080
it's not, it's not fun. I never really liked business. Uh, but, uh, but when you can use your
00:27:03.620
business, uh, for, for good causes like this, yeah, that's brilliant. Yeah. Well, we really
00:27:09.900
appreciate the partnership. So I check out in the coupon box, people just write action for Canada.
00:27:15.920
And I will have that link in the description down below in this video. And, uh, I tell you,
00:27:21.160
I've ordered, uh, I think two orders from Patrick so far, all my seeds have germinated wonderfully.
00:27:26.680
Uh, we have a grow tower, a tower garden in our home. And so we've, all of our lettuces are,
00:27:31.480
uh, being replenished as we speak. I have a greenhouse. So all my tomatoes and my peppers are
00:27:38.320
going to be going in there in the next few weeks. Cause it's getting warmer in, uh,
00:27:41.740
already in there. And, uh, I tell you, um, we're just going to do a quick walk around here in just
00:27:46.760
a minute, but this is like a hardware store, except even better. All right. So, uh, yeah,
00:27:53.140
but we do appreciate, uh, you Patrick and, uh, Eliza, Eliza, um, for what you're doing with us and for us.
00:28:03.100
And, but also for, for this, um, you know, I've, uh, I've had a 56 acre farm before 200 acre farm
00:28:09.940
and, uh, 36 acre farm. And we've, you know, I've farmed and, um, for a number of years,
00:28:16.540
uh, I had a lot of children and they like to eat, but I also instilled in them the value of putting
00:28:22.800
a seed in the ground, having it die, but come back to life and produce. And, uh, God's always blessed
00:28:29.740
us with, uh, good gardens, great gardens. And, uh, you know, we've always, uh, grown food for
00:28:35.080
our animals as well, because you know what you, you put the hard work into it. And, uh, like even
00:28:39.980
a few years ago, we planted our greenhouse. It's an unheated greenhouse. Uh, we put root crops in
00:28:45.520
there. Um, because it was not heated, we didn't get much growth in, in the root crops, but, uh, the
00:28:51.640
beets and the carrots and the parsnips, you know, that went to the rabbits and to the chickens. So
00:28:55.420
it still benefited them. So, uh, but thank you so much for your time, for your, your expertise
00:29:01.720
and showing us how to preserve seeds for 50 years, at least that put me depends on the
00:29:07.660
variety. Yeah. If it's onions, maybe. All right. So we're going to do a quick tour here in just
00:29:12.220
a minute, but thank you so much folks for, for having us. So, um, we're going to sign
00:29:16.400
off here from Sussex, New Brunswick and, uh, do a quick tour. So thank you again so much,
00:29:20.780
both of you for what you do for your ministry here and God bless you both. Thanks.
00:29:24.980
I spent some time with Patrick and Elisa going through their warehouse afterwards. I got to
00:29:30.400
tell you, the orders that I got from them were just amazing. And I'm really enjoying
00:29:34.080
having the tomatoes and the peppers growing right now, getting ready to put them in my
00:29:38.680
greenhouse. The packets of seeds that you get from rainbow seeds are large packets. And
00:29:44.520
recently I had run out of one particular, uh, product that I purchased locally. Packet was
00:29:50.980
almost $4 and it contained about maybe one third of the seeds that you would get from rainbow
00:29:58.640
seeds. The nice thing about rainbow seeds as well as for example, if you like to grow tomatoes,
00:30:04.160
they have, uh, uh, uh, specials on. So if you want, uh, for example, uh, tomatoes, uh, you can get,
00:30:13.900
uh, 13 packets of different varieties of tomatoes for $20 and anything over $25 in your order is free
00:30:22.500
shipping. Uh, Patrick was telling me that October, November, December is their highest months of orders.
00:30:29.040
So if you have people in your life that you really don't know what to buy for, you know what, consider
00:30:34.060
purchasing some seeds for them, invest in their life. And, um, it makes a nice gift any time of year.
00:30:40.860
And, uh, so again, if you type in action for Canada in the coupon box, you'll get 10% discount
00:30:47.380
and anything over $25 is free shipping. And, uh, so these folks are very well stocked. Their shipping is
00:30:54.380
super fast from Sussex, New Brunswick, they ship all over Canada. So again, just to see that all of
00:31:01.120
the different varieties that rainbow seed carries, they have a lot of different varieties. They are
00:31:07.440
so well stocked. They have a lot of inventory on stock and, uh, a lot of their, uh, very special
00:31:16.360
heirloom varieties sell out fairly quickly. But if you're into flowers, uh, cut flowers, heirloom flowers,
00:31:23.860
teas, uh, they offer various packets. And, uh, as I mentioned before, their packets are very large
00:31:31.060
packets, very well stocked in the, indeed. And, uh, as I'm just walking through here, uh, their tomatoes,
00:31:38.180
especially, I know that I grow some tomatoes in my greenhouse, I grow some outdoors as well.
00:31:43.300
And this is the place for you to place your order. I've ordered from different, uh, companies before
00:31:51.460
as well, uh, in Canada here. I've had, uh, decent success with some of them, but the fact that these
00:31:58.660
are heirloom and non-GMO, that really appeals to me. Uh, we have a tower garden in our home and we grow
00:32:07.380
different things. Um, now here's some kale, for example. Now I don't particularly like kale,
00:32:13.220
but my wife put some, uh, kale leaves last year in our, uh, commercial size dehydrator and she put
00:32:19.300
some spices on them and made some kale chips. And let me tell you, that was a nice little treat.
00:32:25.300
So the kale that we have grown right now from Rainbow Seed is doing wonderful. We actually have two of our
