Tima Priess wrote in, actually on the best way to a seed-savers alternate in Ester, Alaska outdoors of Fairbanks. Growing Ester’s Biodiversity has a Facebook page for anybody within the space who needs to become involved.

I personally wrote in to say how I used to be saving the seeds of my acorn squashes (seen rising behind my proper shoulder) to distribute amongst my Italian relations who’ve by no means even heard of acorn squash. Per l’Italiani, pocchi semi sono ancora disponibile se volete. Mandatemi un e mail a [email protected] sono a Lombardia. 

The Sharing Gardens wrote in, as unsurprisingly, they too save and share seeds. Moreover, topically talking, they all the time accomplish that on the onset of autumn, as ripe fruits can have grown their largest seeds. They’ve a post on their blog here about tips on how to save tomato seed.

Permaculturalist Monica Richards saves seeds and shares them along with her associates too; even so far as Germany, the place she received seeds of a tomatillo—a Mexican fruit, that she grew in her dwelling in California! Speak about a one-world-garden She continued…

Many native seeds the place I stay have to be cold-stratified, soaked or burned with the intention to germinate. After I know a local I really like is dispersing its seeds, I attempt to assist the pods alongside areas I can use them on the similar time, quite than gather and hold. That manner, they’re transferring across the property within the season they’re used to, and can germinate naturally. Lo – and behold, I’ve a lot of natives proper the place I would like them germinating!
