If you're tight fisted like me though you can also harvest some of the wild varieties and grow your farms from there. Look around on the map and you'll see flax, barley, redcurrents, ect, growing in abundance.

The real trick is extending your stores by as much as possible. Stick all seeds and food in an underground sort of pantry where they'll degrade much slower.

You can select your field and set to harvest at a later stage. By default, you get 1 seed back + a bunch of cabbage, but if you make them wait you get mostly seeds to expand your farms

I usually use one small 6-10 field set to harvest on going to seed to produce enough seeds.

Ran into this exact same situation... Somehow ran out of cabbage seeds during Winter.
Where did the seeds all go ?? Did cabbage died during winter and villagers kept planting new ones and they die again ??

Plants can die in the winter, also with the vegetables you have the problem that the normal harvest only yields 1 seed, so any time a settler fails the harvest you loose one seed.
And seeds could also rot if not stored properly.
So hard to say what exactly happened to yours.

also dont bundle them all do smaller groups of like 9 max and leave space between, i put stick etc path. this helps with blight prevention. so youll lose a small section and not have it jump to others

- You can harvest around the map and they have a chance to drop seeds and saplings.
- You can buy from the merchant or send your own people to buy from other regions but I personally rarely do this. Instead I try to purchase as much as I can from the merchant .
- Try to store them on shelves to make them last longer. Put those shelves priority to the highest so that the seeds and saplings get hauled.
- Train your animals to haul and assign to hauling.
- Once you have created a cold storage, move the shelves down there.
- Make small fields. I like to do 4x4 with 2 tiles gap all around. This will prevent the blight from jumping around.
- Try to plant early in the game and get a crop cycle going. That will ensure a healthy amount of seeds and saplings every year. I always choose someone with high botany skills in the beginning.
