The catalog is on the way! After it's out I'm getting ready to teach a Seed Saving Workshop as part of the Permaculture In Action course series at SUNY Ulster. Seed saving and permaculture go hand in hand. The way I see it, the most sustainable annual vegetable garden is one where seed saving is planned into the design. On Friday night I will be covering the history of seed saving from the dawn of agriculture to the present. Saturday will be more hands on over at Epworth. We will learn how to plan for saving seeds, seed saving techniques for many vegetables, storage requirements, and start some seeds in soil blocks to take home. Here is the complete list of courses for the series. Hope to see you there.
