  1. #Farmers do more than put #seeds in the ground and wait. Each part of the #crop cycle needs different care. There are new hurdles along the way, but there are also chances to improve results.

  4. Happy #Imbolc! It's halfway between #Winter & #Spring, and marks time to check the #weather (like #groundhogs) and the #animals, and think about gathering #seeds.
    For me, it's a reminder that #days will start getting #longer, faster. Next week we will add 18 #minutes to our day that week, then the last week of Feb, we get 24 minutes added.
    In #March, we add to our daytime 26 minutes in week one, 28 minutes in week two, and 27 minutes the week ending with SPRING yay.

  5. Over the past year, the #LifeCycles team has been taking a deep dive into reimagining what the #SeedLibrary can be. With the help of many dedicated volunteers, we’ve spent significant time sorting and organizing seeds, and we’re excited to share what’s coming next.

    By the end of February, #seed #donation bins will be launched at each of #GreaterVictoriaPublicLibrary branches. The Seed Library at the Broughton branch in downtown Victoria, which will both collect and distribute seeds, is expected to be fully functional by March.

    We are also shifting how #seeds are accessed at the #library to make them more #accessible and increase their reach. The Seed Library will function more like a Seed Box - prioritizing ease of access, because we believe that access to seeds—especially amid rising food costs—is an important part of local #foodsecurity.

    Alongside this, we are planning to continue the Seed Library’s core work of growing out heirloom and locally adapted varieties so they remain accessible in our region. As these seeds become available, we will put these seeds into rotation in the Broughton Branch Seed Library.

    We’re also planning two #SeedWorkshops this year — a beginner workshop in the spring and a more advanced workshop in the summer. More details coming soon!

    #Volunteer opportunities - come help us!

    We have two remaining seed-sorting shifts and we would love your help:

    Monday, January 19, 10:00 am–12:00 pm

    Monday, January 26, 1:00–3:00 pm

    Shifts take place at our Esquimalt office (808 Viewfield Rd, Unit A). Snacks are provided! You can sign up through the Gleaning Hub under Join → Shifts

    All those brown "hairs" are the #spore containing structures or #sporophytes. The green part consists of male and female #gametophytes. This is very different from how it works with seed-bearing plants. #Spores only contain one set of chromosomes, #seeds have two!

    "The haploid gametophyte generation of mosses is the dominant phase of the life cycle. This contrasts with the pattern in all vascular plants (seed plants and pteridophytes), where the diploid sporophyte generation is dominant."

  7. CW: Seed saving, motherhood, preppers

    Really beautiful piece by Kea Krause on seed-saving, motherhood, and thinking about seeds with hope, not doom. Beautiful photos by Levon Biss. It will inspire my gardening; I saved seeds from an extra delicious melon, more to come. orionmagazine.org/article/seed
