#seedsaving — Public Fediverse posts

@libroraptor Oh no! That's bad news. I had high hopes. Anyways, we should engage more again in local (heirloom) #SeedSaving and #SeedExchange, free from patented, licensed or genetically engineered seeds. Our local plants adapted to our local conditions over centuries of cultivation. It is our responsibility towards these cultivated plants to save them from extinction by Monsanto & Co. We have so much variety and should not sacrifice this for monoculture dependent on corps. #gardening

So you rinse it, seal it in a bag with barely damp sphagnum, and set it at the back of the refrigerator for ninety to a hundred and twenty days. In spring you plant it an inch down in a deep pot. Five to seven years later, fruit no corporation ever priced.

Bi socair — be still.

What are you growing that won't pay off for years?

Beans did great this year, we ate loads, froze some and they just kept coming.

Peas are done, we let some dry for seeds and tore out the plants and supports.

The last two surviving sweetcorn cobs were the largest and so got plucked and peeled to dry for seeds.

Also got seeds from the two tobacco plants that popped up randomly after we dug over the former greenhouse for the first time. Nobody here smokes, but I'm kinda curious to experiment with them.

Cucumbers are done too.

Even managed to save a few hazelnuts from the mad squirrels this year.

Just pumpkins, sunflowers and apples left now. And the apples are pretty sour still. Not enough sun. Endless rain.

Gisteren een inspirerende avond gehad: Eerst een film over Vandana Shiva, de activiste als het gaat om eco-feminisme en voedselsoevereiniteit. Daarna door drie bevlogen sprekers bijgepraat over zaadgoed in Nederland.

Ik ben weer scherp en gemotiveerd om in de gemeenschapstuin waar ik actief ben eigen zaadgoed te gaan kweken. 🌱
