  5. The plum seeds I've had in the refrigerator for 5 weeks or so have started to sprout so they were put in pots. They're from red South African plums. I looked up the possible varieties they could be and the pollinators all seemed to match up to something else that is a marketed plum so they might make edible fruit. 12 seeds in 9 pots, 4 weren't showing so I put them all in the same pot.

  7. Today I planted some Bok choy, another eggplant came up, and I put the tomatilloes in bigger pots. Some of the tomatillo are doubles as an experiment since they require two plants to pollinate better so if I give them away they can get "one". The pepper tray is getting crowded but I should be able to put that tray of perennial sunflowers out in a week or so and then put them in two trays. Only 2 of 4 lights in the tent on.

You can choose flowers, vegetables, and herbs from seeds provided. Merryspring Program Director John Fromer will offer many pro tips and answer any questions.

    "The #RockportPublicLibrary will host its second annual SEED FEST on Saturday, April 11. This free, family-friendly event will take place on the upper and lower levels of the library.

Page-Mann and her nonprofit seed company are strong advocates of 'gift culture,' which involves giving away seeds to promote food cultivation and community building. This ethos aligns perfectly with the theme of SEED FEST.

  12. #BrunswickME - Late Season #SeedSowing at Woodward Point

    Friday, March 27, 2026
    2:00 PM to 4:00 PM

    #WoodwardPointPreserve
    219 Woodward Point Road
    Brunswick, ME

    "March is late in the season?! For native plants it is! Most native plant seeds require a long time in the cold and snow of winter in order to germinate. But, there are a few species that don’t require this, and fortunately they’re all easy ones for beginning growers. Come join us for the last seed sowing workshop of the year!

    We will guide a hands-on exploration of the many steps of growing #NativePlants from seed, and establishing diverse landscapes using seed-grown plants. We will also learn about the diverse plants that grow here in Maine and their unique #SeedCollection and seed sowing processes.

    Participants will practice winter seed sowing themselves, leaving one pot for the new #CommunitySeedGarden at Woodward Point Preserve, and take one pot to build #habitat at home.

    Please register to join us.

    Notes on access: This workshop will be held in an unheated barn. If the weather is sunny, we will start the workshop outdoors. To come prepared, dress warmly but in layers. The parking lot includes space for 18 vehicles and 4 additional handicap accessible spots. Please park nose in, snugly as reasonable, to best accommodate the full number of participants. The barn is located directly adjacent to the parking lot. No bathrooms are available on site. Please let us know if there are ways we can help get you to the event!

    Tickets

    Our sliding scale registration is offered to make this event as accessible as possible while covering the costs of time, seeds, soil and pots. The recommended level is $25 for non-members, and $20 for members. Paying above provides generous support to others to attend, and contributing at lower levels is welcome if cost is a barrier to attendance. Thank you, we look forward to seeing you there!"

  13. The second batch of seeds (sown last week) is starting to show some results! Basil (in the rectangular container) and squash are coming out ☺️

    No cucumbers yet, though 😞 (the seeds are around 6 years old, so nothing might come out of them in the end).

  14. Sweet and Hot peppers, and a tray of Maximilian Sunflowers. Also some Shrubby St. John's wort that sprouted after spending a week alternating in the freezer and refrigerator with the sunflower seeds. Peppers were just thinned by the clippers...
