It's time to reap -- not just the garden's bounty of fruit and vegetable, nut and grain -- but also the seed for next year's garden

http://blog. oregonlive. com/homesandgardens/2008/08/save_your_seeds. html



Seed saving is economical. It's easy. It's what humans have done summer after summer, year after year, century after century.


Seeds take little storage space. One shoebox in a cool, dry place will hold your garden-in-waiting. Next spring, watch them come alive again in your garden and give some to friends to sow in their gardens, too.


Here's how:

PREPARE

• Stop deadheading flowers or harvesting vegetables to allow seedpods to form. Expect your garden to look a little untidy.


• Save seed only from standard or open-pollinated varieties. For vegetables, designate one plant of each variety for seed saving and harvest the rest.


COLLECT

Dry seed: Let seedpods dry on stalks. They will turn yellow or brown. Collect pods. In a bucket, break them open. Separate the seed from the chaff.


Wet seed: Throw tomatoes whole into a bucket. Scoop out innards of squash, melons, peppers and eggplant and throw them in a bucket. Add a little water and let them rot for several days. The flesh will separate from the seed and rise to the top. Viable seed will fall to the bottom. Pour out old water and then rinse the seed; pour it on a screen to dry. Once dry, rinse it again.


STORE

• Place clean, dry seed in paper bags, envelopes or glass jars. Baby food jars work well. Lightweight plastic bags are not moisture-proof and aren't recommended. Moisture is a seed's worst enemy.


• Label containers and keep in a cool, dry spot, 55 to 60 degrees, such as a closet in an unheated bedroom.


• Next spring, get sowing.

Here are results from a google video search on how to save seeds... some of us learn better from seeing rather than reading... those of us with PTSD, head injuries, etc... often absorb and retain more information this way too... then there's always hands-on learning, but i guess we'll get that by doing it ourselves if we don't have others around who can teach us in person :-)

Why it Matters to Buy Heirloom Plants and Seeds
by Annie B.
Bond

http://www. care2. com/greenliving/why-buy-heirloom-plants-seeds. html

The loss of genetic seed diversity facing us today may lead to a catastrophe far beyond our imagining. The Irish potato famine, which led to the death or displacement of two and a half million people in the 1840s, is an example of what can happen when farmers rely on only a few plant species as crop cornerstones.


One blight wiped out the single potato type that came from deep in the Andes mountains; it did not have the necessary resistance. If the Irish had planted different varieties of potatoes, one type would have most likely resisted the blight.


We can help save heirloom seeds by learning how to buy and save these genetically diverse jewels ourselves.


ABOUT SEEDS
One kind of seed, called First generation hybrids (F1 hybrids), have been hand-pollinated, and are patented, often sterile, genetically identical within food types, and sold from multinational seed companies.


A second kind of seeds are genetically engineered. Bioengineered seeds are fast contaminating the global seed supply on a wholesale level, and threatening the purity of seeds everywhere. The DNA of the plant has been changed. A cold water fish gene could be spliced into a tomato to make the plant more resistant to frost, for example.


A third kind of seeds are called heirloom or open-pollinated, genetically diverse jewels that have been passed on from generation to generation.


With heirloom seeds there are 10,000 varieties of apples, compared to the very few F1 hyprid apple types.


The Mayan word “gene” means “spiral of life.” The genes in heirloom seeds give life to our future. Unless the 100 million backyard gardeners and organic farmers keep these seeds alive, they will disappear altogether. This is truly an instance where one person–a lone gardener in a backyard vegetable garden–can potentially make all the difference in the world.


Here are two sources for finding heirloom seeds from seed saving organizations. These organizations represent a movement of several thousand backyard gardeners who are searching the countryside for endangered vegetables, fruits and grains.


The Seed Savers Exchange
The Seed Savers Exchange (SSE), is a non-profit tax-exempt organization that is saving old-time food crops from extinction.


Kent and Diane Whealy founded SSE in 1975 after an elderly, terminally ill relative bestowed three kinds of garden seeds brought from Bavaria four generations earlier.


The Whealys began searching for other “heirloom varieties” (seeds passed down from generation to generation) and soon discovered a vast, little-known genetic treasure.


SSE’s members are maintaining thousands of heirloom varieties, traditional Indian crops, garden varieties of the Mennonite and Amish, vegetables dropped from all seed catalogs and outstanding foreign varieties. Each year hundreds of members use SSE’s publications to distribute such seeds to ensure their survival.


Each winter SSE publishes a 304-page Seed Savers Yearbook which contains names and addresses of 900 members and 6,000 listings of rare vegetable and fruit varieties that they are offering to other gardeners. Seeds are obtained by writing directly to the members who are listing those varieties.


The Seed Savers Exchange
http://www. seedsavers. org/

Native seeds/SEARCH
Native seeds/SEARCH (NS/S) is a non-profit seed conservation organization working to preserve the traditional native crops of the U.S. Southwest and Northwest Mexico. For centuries Native American farmers have grown corn, squash, beans and other crops under a variety of growing conditions.


NS/S encourages the continued use of these plants in their native habitats, and also distributes them widely to home gardeners, researchers and free of charge to Native American farmers. Wild relatives of crops–such as wild beans, chiles, gourds and cotton–are included in Native Seeds/SEARCH’s conservation efforts.


NS/S’s informative annual seed catalog lists more than 200 varieties for sale. Each crop listing includes seed saving information as well as culture and folklore.

Growing Organic Food Inside Your Home Year-Round
Windowsill Gardening
By Pauline Lloyd
Growing Green International 9, 2/22/2008
Straight to the Source


Don't worry if you haven't got a garden or allotment! For a surprising amount of food can be produced indoors, vegan organically, either on your windowsill or on a well-lit kitchen surface...

The following plants will all do well indoors:

Salad greens are easy to grow and can be produced all the year round indoors, ever so cheaply. So, the next time you buy fruit and vegetables, save any empty plastic punnets as these are ideal for this purpose. You will need to line the base of the punnet with several layers of paper kitchen towel and this should be dampened with water before sprinkling on the seeds. Try using rape, mustard or cress seeds which should all grow well..

After sowing the seeds, place the punnet in a brown paper bag and keep it in a dark cupboard, perhaps underneath the sink, until the seeds have germinated and the seedlings are an inch or so high. Then it can be brought out into the daylight and the bag removed. But don't place it on a very sunny windowsill, or the seedlings will dry out too rapidly and become stressed..

You should check the seedlings regularly to make sure that the paper is still damp and water or spray if necessary. When they are about 2-3 inches high, the seedlings can be cut off with scissors, rinsed and used as a tasty garnish for salads or sandwiches. Alternatively, buckwheat and sunflower greens make an excellent substitute for lettuce. These grow well in small plastic trays and the sorts of trays that can sometimes buy mushrooms in are ideal..

Soak the seeds (which should still have their shells on) in a jam jar for 12 hours, then drain off the water and leave the seeds to sprout for a day before sowing. To sow: Place a layer of soil (or potting compost) in the plastic tray and distribute the seeds evenly on the surface, covering them with a thin layer of soil. Dampen the soil daily. The greens should be ready for harvesting in about 7 days and are also easily harvested with scissors..

Wheatgrass also grows well in trays and can be grown either on soil or on dampened kitchen towels. However, wheatgrass is usually juiced in a special juicer, rather than eaten, although you can also chew it like gum! Wheatgrass juice has many amazing curative properties and it is full of vitamins, minerals and enzymes and of course chlorophyll. I would recommend that you read Ann Wigmore's book, The Wheatgrass Book, if you want to find out more about how to grow it and about its medicinal properties. Sprouts Many grains, pulses, nuts and seeds can be sprouted and are easily grown indoors on a windowsill, either in trays or in special sprouting jars. And sprouts are truly amazing! They are full of vitamins, enzymes and minerals and have many features, which make them far superior to other foods For example they are inexpensive to grow, need little preparation, can usually be eaten raw and some even have anti-cancer properties...

And what could be fresher, than a handful of sprouts removed from a jar in your kitchen, rinsed, then eaten straight away?

If you want quick results, then try sprouting some soaked, hulled, organic sunflower seeds. These can be ready in a day or two and green lentil sprouts also grow very quickly. Alfalfa is one of the most nutritious sprouts to grow and makes an excellent garnish, but I actually prefer the taste of red clover, which is supposed to be especially good if you are menopausal. I also really like the taste of broccoli sprouts, but these seeds are very expensive to buy and not always easy to find and so I usually grow my own..

If you would like to try this, then leave some purple sprouting broccoli to go seed in a corner of your garden. You need to leave at least two plants next to one another to be sure of producing seed and you may need to protect the ripening seedpods from birds. When the pods are dry shell out the seeds. It's fiddly, but well worth the effort, as you will save a fortune! Legumes are also worth sprouting. Try chick peas, peas and aduki beans. Wheat can also be sprouted and is used to make the refreshing drink known as Rejuvelac, which is supposed to be good for the intestinal flora. And of course wheat sprouts are also used to make sprouted wheat bread..

When growing sprouts, if you are short of space, then try one of the tiered tray systems such as the Beingfare Salad Sprouter, which allows you to grow several varieties of sprouts on top of one another. It is also possible to buy special sprouting jars with mesh lids, which allow easy rinsing and draining of your sprouts. Of course if you are hard up for cash you can simply use clean jam jars, covered with a piece of cheesecloth (muslin) and held in place with an elastic band. It is possible to buy nylon sprouting bags from the Fresh Network, which are more portable than most sprouting systems and are useful for taking on holiday. Herbs and Other Plants Many herbs will grow well on a windowsill and are useful for adding extra flavour to food. Parsley is rich in vitamins and will grow well in a pot or small trough indoors. I use the variety Champion Moss Curled and make sowings in March and August for an all year round supply...

Germination seems to be more reliable than from an outdoor sowing and it is especially useful to have a small pot of parsley growing indoors in the winter as it saves going out in the garden and getting the feet wet!

Bush Basil also grows well in containers and so does Winter Savoury and both of these can be sown indoors in April or May. Chives is also an excellent indoor container plant and so is Pennyroyal and you could even try growing your own Cayenne peppers on a sunny windowsill! Also watercress does not necessarily need running water...

The Organic Gardening Catalogue offers a type of watercress that does well in a well-watered pot and if you grow it indoors, you should hopefully escape the caterpillars which can quickly strip the plant bare!

--------------------

My indoor garden started with a Royal Flush: During a poker game with friends, I was halving an avocado for guacamole when I realized, to my complete shock, that I had a good hand. Instead of pausing the game to throw the pit in the trash, I poked a hole in the soil of the nearest houseplant, dropped in the pit and forgot about it. I was reminded a month later when the fast-growing avocado plant took over the pot. You, too, can grow an indoor garden with kitchen scraps usually thrown onto the compost heap...

Garlic: 1) Plant a few garlic cloves with pointed tip facing up in a pot with loamy organic soil..

2) Place the pot on a sunny windowsill and water regularly like a houseplant...

3) Green garlicky shoots emerge in a week or so. Harvest with a scissors to using in cooking or as a tasty garnish for soups, salads and baked potatoes...

Green Onions: 1) Use green onions with healthy, white roots attached to the bulb. Snip off green tops for cooking with a scissors. Leave a little green top on the onion bulb..

2) Plant the entire onion while leaving the short top above ground in a small pot filled with a loamy, organic potting soil. Make sure your container has drainage holes. Put in a sunny windowsill and water once a week or when soil feels dry to the touch..

3) Harvest new green shoots with scissors to use for cooking or as a tasty garnish. Continue to leave the onion in the soil. With each new growth the onion will taste more potent. After each harvest of onion tops, dress the topsoil with organic compost...

Enjoy green onion tops in stir-fries, omelets, and in sandwiches all winter long

Pineapple: 1) Indoor pineapple plants rarely produce flowers and fruit, but their striking foliage adds a touch of exotic to any houseplant collection. All you need to grow one is the green top you cut off when you eat the pineapple. For best results, use a pineapple that has fresh center leaves at the crown. Lob off the top, right where the crown meets the fruit. Peel off the bottom leaves and clean off the leftover fruit. Let the top rest a day before planting..

2) Fill a shallow pot with rich, loamy organic soil mixed with a few tablespoons of well-rinsed coffee grounds. Pineapple grows best in an acidic soil. Plant the pineapple top so the soil is even with the bottom of the crown..

3) Water well and mist the leaves and crown with a diluted, organic liquid fertilizer. As a member of the Bromeliaceae family, which also includes air plants, pineapple plants take much of their nourishment not from the soil but from nutrients in the moist air..

Avocado: 1) For best results use only a ripe avocado. Carefully halve the fruit and rinse the pit. Pat dry and let sit overnight in a warm, dry spot. The next day, peel off any of the parchment-like skin from the pit...

2) Place the pit with the base (the wider end) toward the bottom in a 7-inch pot full of loamy, rich organic soil. Make sure the tip is above the soil, exposed to light for proper germination. Water thoroughly...

3) If your apartment is dry, place a clear plastic cup over the exposed seed tip to serve as a mini-greenhouse. Though the plant does not need direct light to germinate, placing the pot on a sunny windowsill will speed growth..

4) Continue to water every week and make sure the soil doesn't dry out completely. The pit may take over a month to germinate so be patient..

5) When the sprout emerges and grows to about 4 inches, add another layer of organic soil to cover the pit completely. This not only protects the seed, but also any roots that may poke through the soil in search of nourishment..

6) Once the plant starts growing, it may remind you of the story "Jack and the Beanstalk." You can watch the plant grow tall for a year (supported with a wooden rod) and let it branch on its own, or make a decision to prune it and force it to branch, making a sturdier plant. If you choose to prune, it's best to trim with a diagonal cut 2 inches from the top. Be careful as you prune not to cut the main stem more than 1/3 of its height..

7) Continue to add organic compost to fertilize the soil with each pruning and water as you would a houseplant. Only repot the fast-growing plant when it is 6 times taller than the diameter of the pot..

8) Though avocado plants do not bear fruit if grown indoors, you can plant multiple avocado pits at various times in the same pot for a more interesting arrangement..

Urban Farming

Ads are everywhere, but after this short one is a cool clip about urban farming (it's the Wall Street Journal's video) Food doesn't get more local than your own front or backyard, as Kip Nash of Community Roots in Boulder, CO explains:

..

From my old blog: Edible Landscaping (videos, pictures, and resources)


My friend Emily"endorses Dennis4President. com" (who has a great radio program on sustainability) posted a bulletin by our mutual friend Organic Lawns for America

"Make it your New Years Resolution to cancel your chemical lawn care service… Just by doing this there will be fewer dead birds from pesticide exposure"

And i agree if you are going to have a lawn do not use chemicals on it… Many people will chose to grow a lawn, but actually why not try an alternative?

Did you know that lawns originally became popular by the newly emerging middle class copying wealthy European estates who had the money and rainfall to support all that green?

Why not save water, mowing time, and petrochemicals used for that mower (of course we do have a push mower to loan to our neighbors)



Edible Landscaping

http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=q7JgenD4fdw

One of my favorite sights is always a front yard entirely planted with vegetables, fruits, flowers, and herbs… When we bought our first home we got rid of our lawn and planeted strawberries… Why not? The lawn wasn't doing anyone any good!

Why not use vegetables and herbs interplanted with some of the more common bedding plants? Most vegetables are actually very attractive plants which produce flowers before fruiting… Fruit trees can be espanade to grow compactly against or as a fence… Rosalind Creasy's excellent book on edible landscaping even has a picture of a fruit salad tree which you can graft to grow several varieties of fruit (my cherry tree has three varieties)

espanade

Photobucket



The herbs all smell wonderful I pick them and fruit while enjoying time in the garden… You maximize your growing area by planting vertically, on the top of fences, some people even have green roofs! (see video, reference, and pictures below) There are many climbing vegetable and fruits, some good ones are cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, pole beans, scarlet runner beans, edible pod peas, or hardy kiwi

Some of Terry L Yockey's (and my) favorite plants for your edible landscape are:

• Chamomile--A small daisy-like flower… The German chamomile (Matricaria recutita) is the one that you dry for chamomile tea… It isn't a perennial, but always self sows in my garden…The Roman chamomile ( (Chamaemelum nobile) ( is considered a perennial (but isn't here in Minnesota!), and has a wonderful fragrance but isn't as good in tea

• Swiss Chard--The variety 'Bright Lights' has plants in a variety of beautiful colors that will make a statement in any garden… The sun shining through the leaves looks just like stained glass… Good raw in summer salads (It grows like a weed and my rescued pet chickens "Thanks" and "Giving" love it!)

• Chives--Many people call this onion grass and it's one of the easiest herbs to grow… Its good with dips… I think it makes a nice tidy border for the perennial garden… When it gets too tall and starts to flop over, just cut it down to the ground and it will come back bigger and better
• Cucumbers--I can never resist planting these somewhere… I never get that many cukes, but I like to watch them grow and their yellow flowers are beautiful

• Basils--There are purple varieties ('Dark Opal' and 'Purple Ruffles'), lemon ('Sweet Dani') and cinnamon flavored varieties and basils with extremely large leaves such as the AAS winner 'Thai Siam Queen' or the old favorite 'Lettuce Leaf' All are worthy of a place in your yard, gardens and containers

• Monarda (Bee Balm) --My favorite flower… I grow it everywhere because of the vibrant red flowers… The leaves have a minty fragrance and can be used in your herb teas… In fact, it is said that that is what the settlers drank after the "Boston Tea Party"

• Oregano--The common oregano is a hardy ground cover that you can use for all your Italian dishes… It has pretty pink flowers that the bees love

• Parsley--Use this biennial between all your flowers in your pots… It has healthy green foliage all summer long that makes any flower next to them look even better

• Rhubarb--It's a lovely plant which doesn't deserve the soldiers-all-in-a row treatment it gets in many yards!

• Sage--It's not always reliably hardy here, but is worth replanting if necessary… A lovely silver accent in the garden which can be used often in the kitchen

• Salad Burnet ((Poterium sanguisorba) --This is a perennial that is easily grown outdoors from seed It looks like miniature ferns and tastes and smells just like a cucumber… Great for salads and for those who can't eat real cukes

• Eggplant--I grew mine in a pot this year so I could enjoy the beautiful blue flowers and purple fruits up close

Edible landscaping is a wonderful way for all of us to have productive yards (no matter how small the gardening space!)

Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn,
A Project

by Fritz Haeg

Manifesto callout, special treatment: Edible Estates is an attack on the front lawn and everything it has come to represent!
Edible Estates is an ongoing series of projects to replace the front lawn with edible garden landscapes responsive to culture, climate, context and people!
Edible Estates reconciles issues of global food production and urbanized land use with the modest gesture of a small domestic garden!
Edible Estates is a practical food-producing initiative, a place-responsive landscape design proposal, a scientific horticultural experiment, a conceptual land-art project, a defiant political statement, a community out-reach program and an act of radical gardening!
Edible Estates is nothing new; growing our own food is the first thing we did when we stopped being nomadic and started being "civilized"!
The Edible Estates project proposes the replacement of the domestic front lawn with a highly productive edible landscape… It was initiated by architect and artist Fritz Haeg on Independence Day, 2005, with the planting of the first regional prototype garden in the geographic center of the United States, Salina, Kansas













Since then three more prototype gardens have been created, in Lakewood, California; Maplewood, New Jersey and London, England… Edible Estates regional prototype gardens will ultimately be established in nine cities across the United States
Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn documents the first four gardens with personal accounts written by the owners, garden plans and photographs illustrating the creation of the gardens--from ripping up the grass to harvesting a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs… Essays by Haeg,landscape architect Diana Balmori, garden and food writer Rosalind Creasy, author Michael Pollan and artist and writer Lesley Stern set the Edible Estates project in the context of larger issues concerning the environment, global food production and the imperative to generate a sense of community in our urban and suburban neighborhoods… This smart, affordable and well-designed book also includes reports and photographs from the owners of other edible front yards around the country, as well as helpful resources to guide you in making your own Edible Estate
