Lettuce. Allow the best several plants flowering together for viable seed). By always leaving best to flower means you just ... always have self sown lettuce.
Separate varieties by 10m, share excess with your community

Did you know, you can grow a heap of different tomato varieties, then catch up with others who've done the same, compare successes, and swap the #seeds? So we did. And we'll do it again with beans and any other plants that take over.

The sun is moving further north in the sky, the light is coming across at lower angles, making #seedpods ever more appealing. Who wouldn't want to collect #seeds? #Saving them for next season? #sharing to #seedlibraries
I want to save #seed from 3 corn plants, so I am deciding if I grow out all 3, or are there community gardens, or individuals I can give an ear to grow out, or half an ear, and maybe get a cob back in a year or two? Or someone who just wants to grow a boatload of corn? For #seedlibraries #otepoti
The St Kilda #seedlibrary sent a donation to Heritage food crops research trust and recieved below. I will aim, also, to spend an hour, two hours a day getting some Jersey Wonder and Guatamalan Purple broad beans out around #seedlibraries, and get warmer #season beans out in winter.
On a recent Kings #seed order, I asked for expired seed to #distribute. This #kiwi seed business I use for all heritage, hybrid, and bulk seed, these guys have a great range, and they hugely #support #community endeavors, #seedlibraries included. I'll do an hour packing ev day or two to get it out.
Beginning to harvest bean seed from #beanscene2025 these are Pepa Del Zapallo #beans that originated from Heritage Food Crops Research Trust. For bean and tomato #seed at no cost beyond sending an SA envelope to:

Hughey Crimson and Coles Dwarf Broad beans. Please some and grab some to grow out for your own produce and #seed supply.
#seedsaving the best pods from the best plants for your future garden will help adapt seed to the local #climate. Will get some around a couple of #seedlibraries this week
Picture showing aerial roots, which in corn that originates from Mexico, is associated with nitrogen fixing in desert cond.conditions This corn is Incan corn, and has aerial roots, which may or may not be nitrogen fixing, but on the offchance, I'm going to select for these.
Early Gem Zea Mays was grown out #2024. All of that #seed was mixed, #shared around #seedlibraries, and seed from each cob grown last season is growing out again now. This year I am selecting one plant to grow out one cob from. I have decided to select for number of cobs and aerial roots.

Don't forget, lots of public libraries have #SeedLibraries. They usually stock up around March.

This little moment I caught before out on the berm as a very welcomed break from the constant onslaught of scary news at the moment
#seedsaving for #seedlibraries is a #meaningful human #occupation
Not great 📷
Pollinator seedsaving tips for #seedsaving for #seedlibraries on this #seedsaver #Sunday Collect dead #phacelia seedheads in paper bag and shake to loosen seeds from seedheads. This can then be windowed with wind or a fan to clean away debris and leave clean seed.

Saving and sharing seed to #seedlibraries to ensure equitable access to seed for all people.
Thank you Pam and the NEV #community #garden. A sack of this daikon #seed has been shared to the NEV garden, and I grabbed some to grow out here. Didn't even properly husk, just crushed and put in trays. Let's see what comes of it.

Wooden teay of dried Hughey Crimson broadbeans in their pods for whoever wants to grow them next year. I have kept a few 5-bean pods back as master seedline, but there's is a huge amount here, and they need to be spread around the community and grown out again, so they remain in circulation for all people.
Coles Dwarf Broadbean (left), that is also in need of being shared around the community to ensure access to all people, and to keep the seeds in circulation.
Lucifer Broadbean which will be grown out again before being made available. But looks how gorgeous it is.

I was privileged to chat on our #community radio about using #seedsaving and #seedlibraries to ensure equity in access to seed to #seeds, adapt seed to your #climate, engage in nature, for mental health #Ōtepoti #Aotearoa. #climatechange #mentalhealth #inclusion
Bringing some hope into the sky.
