🌱 Eco-tip! Instead of plastic labels, use wooden pegs or lollipop sticks to name your seedlings. Write directly on the wood! And reusable! #EcoGardening #SeedStarting #SustainableLiving

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.

We have bok choy, or pak choi, in 2 days! Not on the heat, just under the lights.
-
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.

Super rainy day here. I ended up pulling a 12+ hours work day yesterday & was fully spent by end of the night.
I slept in today. Then, decided to make the most of an indoor day & got some more food plant seeds started, in zipped plastic bags.#FoodSecurity #FoodEquity #FoodSystems #GrowFood #AnarchoSocialist #GrowFruits #GrowVegetables #GrowMelons #GrowItEatIt #AntiCapitalist #BeTheChange #SeedsOfTheRevolution #SeedStarting #GardeningIsRevolutionary #Seeds #ResistanceGardeners #GrowFromSeed #DisabledGardeners #FoodGardening #FoodSeeds #Saanich #VictoriaBC #VancouverIsland #PNW #Zone8 #YYJ #Cascadia #PacificNorthwest #VanIsle

#RockportME - 2nd Annual SEED FEST
April 11 @ 9:30 AM – 1:30 PM
"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. From 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., visitors can browse educational exhibits and activities covering #SeedStarting, #pollinators, #SoilHealth, #Composting, #NativePlants, #HeirloomVegetables, growing #rice and #grains in #Maine, #Wabanaki #FoodSovereignty, and much more!
"At 12:30 p.m., Petra Page-Mann of #FruitionSeeds will deliver an interactive keynote presentation. 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.
"The event is generously sponsored by the Rockport Library Foundation and is organized in partnership with several organizations, listed alphabetically: Herbal Hummingbird Hub, Knox Lincoln County Beekeepers, Knox-Lincoln Soil and Water Conservation District, Maine Grains and Maine Grain Alliance, Maine Heirloom Seed Network, Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association [#MOFGA], #MaineRiceProject at Ararat Farms, #MerryspringNatureCenter, #Niweskok: From the Stars to Seeds, Roots n Shoots, #UMaineCooperativeExtension, and #WildSeedProject.
"The exhibiting partners will provide valuable information, hands-on activities, items for sale, and an abundance of free seeds and seedlings. Additionally, #midcoast artist Katharine Cartwright’s beautiful #BotanicalPaintings will be showcased in the library’s lower level for a month-long exhibition titled 'In My Garden.' "

Hawaiian chili peppers, Burpee big guy jalapeno, Red marconi sweet peppers, and 8 pots of replanted a week ago California Wonder sweet bell peppers. There's a full tray of 18 maximilian perennial sunflowers. The Detroit dark red beets are starting to come up too, some pea sprouts are visible along with most of the radish that are up, and most of the spinach and arugula up.

#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!"

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).

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...
