Let's take a look at all the benefits of this amazing seed pack:
Non-GMO
Non-GMO seeds are preferred by many people, as they have not been genetically-modified or engineered in a lab. GM seeds are produced by introducing new DNA to the genetic material of a plant, changing its structure and creating plants with desirable traits. However, safety is still uncertain with this relatively new process.
Non-GMO seeds are sometimes known as “heirloom” or “open pollinated” seeds. This means the genetic qualities of the plants will be passed down for generations, and natural selection will take place to produce the desired traits in plants adapted to the environment. These plants are often hardier than GM plants, and can thrive without chemical intervention or hybridization.
The Open Seed Vault's 15,000 Non Gmo Heirloom Vegetable Seeds Survival Garden 32 Variety Pack contains everyday veggies like tomatoes, peppers and carrots, as well as more exotic ones such as Chinese long red chili pepper. It also includes an informational pamphlet with instructions on how to care for your vegetables pre-and postharvesting. Perfect for beginner gardeners wanting to explore the benefits of non-GMO gardening!
Heirloom
Heirloom vegetables are gaining popularity with gardeners. They are open-pollinated, stable, and have been passed down for multiple generations. Unlike hybrid or GMO varieties, heirloom veggies are non-hybridized and uncontaminated. This gives you a true taste of a natural vegetable!
Heirloom vegetables boast many health benefits. They provide improved nutrition, a varied diet, and a greater yield than traditional vegetables. They are free from harmful chemicals or hormones that may be present in GMO varieties. The plants also remain naturally strong and resilient.
Heirloom seeds tend to cost less than hybrid seeds. Though, they are limited in supply, making them more expensive than mass produced hybrids.
32 varieties
Open Seed Vault's 15,000 Non-GMO Heirloom Vegetable Seeds Survival Garden 32 Variety Pack is your all-in-one gardening solution. It comes with 32 varieties of non-GMO heirloom vegetables, such as tomatoes, peppers, garlic, onions, beets and green beans.

Growing Instructions
Grow your own veggies – a fab way to have healthy, fresh food! To be successful, it's vital to follow the instructions. The 15,000 Non Gmo Heirloom Vegetable Seeds Survival Garden 32 Variety Pack by Open Seed Vault can help you begin. Let's go through the steps for this variety pack!
Soil preparation
Before beginning to plant, it is vital to get the soil ready. This helps ensure the crop gets all the nutrition it needs for success. Start by using a soil test kit to measure the nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements in your soil. Then, adjust them if needed. Include plenty of organic matter like compost or manure to improve the soil's structure, aeration, and nutrient content.
When the ideal growing environment is set, use a tiller or spade to break the top 12 inches of soil into smaller bits. Finally, rake and grade the plot to make it level, smooth with no clumps or rocks larger than 1 inch. Although this may seem lengthy, following these steps will help increase your crop quality and yield in the long run!
Planting
When planting, pick a spot with well-draining soil and 8 hours of sunlight daily. Clay soil? No problem! Add organic compost for better results. Raised beds or areas with plenty of sunshine are great for most veggies. Choose seeds based on when you want to harvest. Beans and tomatoes can be picked all summer and some are better for storing in the fall.
Follow packet instructions for spacing between plants and planting depth – usually one to two times the seed diameter. Make rows if possible for better light and air circulation, plus weed control. Fertilize before and after harvest to boost yields and promote veggie health:
- Compost and fish emulsion are safe for all veggies.
- Synthetic fertilizers: use sparingly and follow packet instructions.
Watering
Water your garden! It is essential for successful veggie gardening. Check the soil around the plants every 1-2 days. Water when it feels dry. Aim for the roots, not the leaves – wet leaves can lead to fungus. Keep the soil moist, not soggy. Over-watering can cause shallow root growth and stressed plants.
Stick to a pattern when watering. No areas should remain dry while others get overwatered.
Fertilizing
Gardeners use a mix of fertilizing methods to get maximum vegetable crop production. Fertilizing can give bigger and healthier fruits and veggies, but too much can damage roots.
Fertilizers come in three types: water-soluble, slow-release, and liquid. Water-soluble fertilizers are used when planting. Slow-release fertilizers are put on the soil's surface in granular form and release nutrients as they dissolve. Liquid fertilizers are sprayed with a hose or poured onto the plant bed's surface.
Choose the right fertilizer for your crops and soil pH level. Get an inexpensive home soil test kit from a gardening center. Apply organic fertilizer twice during the growing season – once at planting and then again when plants fruit/veg.
- Grass clippings mulch helps build up organic content and retain moisture. Mix it with composted manure for enough nitrogen for good growth.
- Add manure for N–P–K plants need for optimum health and production.
- Protect veg seeds from weather like hail, wind and drought.
- Water deeply after applying manure since it dries quickly.
Harvesting
Harvest your veggies for a flavor-packed, abundant crop. Time and technique are the keys. Here's a quick checklist:
- Monitor maturity dates. From 10 days to 4 weeks after planting, depending on veggie type and variety.
- Use sharp tools. Shears and knives for clean cuts and minimal bruising. No extra benefits from pulling.
- Handle with care. Rough handling reduces quality so use two hands for bigger harvests.
- Double-check! Make sure you don't miss any hidden in the shadows.
