Capture Your Harvest for Next Year!
Heads up seed savers and seed-saver wanna be’s! Do you have bean pods turning brown and drying on the vine? Lettuce that’s sending fuzzy-topped stems bolting skyward?
“Seed Saving 101” can help you turn your plants’ last gasp into productive seeds for next year’s garden.
Presented by Fidalgo Seed Share, a Transition Fidalgo program, this hour-long class will help demystify the many-faceted secrets
that plants know—how to mature, store, and plant their seeds to perpetuate their life for future generations.
We'll delve into how to save seeds and why it's important. You'll learn to recognize the plant life cycle and know when its seed will produce a viable new plant. Also covered will be, types of pollination and pointers on some of the easiest seeds to save. While the emphasis will be on vegetables, there’ll also be examples of a few flower types.
