How do I Grow Plants for Seeds?

The Rideau 1000 Islands Master Gardens have a wide range of incredibly interesting resources to support a variety of sustainable gardening practices that you will find here

Seed Savers Exchange has excellent information on their website to help you learn how to grow plants for seed and food.  They have outstanding garden planning ideas  and crop by crop growing guides to get you started and a plethora of advice about seed saving.

  • @seeds_diversity Seed Saving 101: It’s important to dry your seeds after you harvest them, regardless of whether they feel dry to the touch or not. Chances are, they are still moist inside and will grow mouldy if not properly dried. Open-air drying is the best way - learn how by following the link in our bio. #seeds #seedsaving #seeddiversity #fooddiversity #biodiversity #heritageseeds #heirloomseeds

  • Happy F A L L Repost: Today at 9:31am EDT marked the beginning of autumn for us in the Northern Hemisphere, and spring for those in the Southern. Here’s an interesting fact for everyone: the September equinox typically occurs on the 22nd or 23rd of September each year, but can sometimes land on the 21st or 24th. The 21st will happen twice in this century - 2092 and 2096. The next time it will land on the 24th is 2303! #seeds #seedsaving #seeddiversity #fooddiversity #biodiversity #plantdiversity #cropdiversity
