Seeds Added to Seed Libary!

First I want to thank all of you who came to the seed packaging event on Monday--we packaged 263 packets of seeds!

I'll let everyone know when the new seed packaging event is scheduled.

I added lots of new seeds to the Seed Library yesterday.
There are many new herb seeds: borage, cumin, sage, German winter thyme, garlic chives, onion chives, Italian parsley, moss curled parsley, caraway, rosemary, dill, and oregano. Many herbs need a very long period of germination and indoor growing before setting out in the garden, so plan ahead if you want to grow some of these herbs. Check the Seed Library catalog for growing instructions.

If you want to start native plants from seeds, many need a cold or cold-moist period to break dormancy. You can do this by seeding outside now, using the winter sowing method or by moist-stratification inside your refrigerator. More details about some of these methods is at the Prairie Moon Nursery website:    https://www.prairiemoon.com/
