The next Seed Talk is Tuesday November 13 at 6:30 pm at the White Bear Lake Library. Free.

The topic is Black Gold! Come find out what I mean by Black Gold and how you can make your own Black Gold with little effort.

Also I will show several methods for starting vegetable and native plant seeds. Yes, it's too early now to start tomato seeds, but it's not too early to think about it! Also, one of the easiest methods to start native plant seeds is done after a frost.

I'm also giving a free in depth class on how to save and start native plant seeds.
