| Peggy and Glenn WOWed us about saving seeds |
This Wednesday Peggy McDonald and Glenn Berman shared their seed saving expertise and 12 of us were there to enjoy the session. They discussed plant separation to ensure seed has not been hybridized, fermentation, scarification, and best storage practices. Here is a link for information about a book Glenn used and showed us https://www.southernexposure.com/products/seed-to-seed-saving-our-vegetable-heritage/, and another link for more information: about obtaining heirloom and open pollinated seeds. https://sow true seed.com/
The garden is looking great. The cool spring weather has kept bugs and diseases at bay. In addition our multiple pollinator plants have provided food and habitat for beneficial insects. Biodiversity in the garden and in the soil make a productive healthy garden. The final spring peas were harvested this week and next week potatoes will be dug. Summer vegetables will be planted in their place—okra, sweet potatoes, and field peas.
