The Seed Drawers are Packed!

Hello Gardeners!

Hurrah! The seed drawers are packed!

A big thank you to all who helped package and donate seeds!

The Seed Library has vegetable, annuals, perennials, herbs and native plant seeds galore for your garden. Stop by and check it out. 

I think this year we have more variety of seeds than any previous year!

There are 43 varieties of tomatoes, 13 kinds of lettuce and over 8 kinds of beans!

There are peas, peppers; both hot and sweet, cucumbers, carrots, radish, melons, zucchini, squash, okra, spinach, broccoli, and more.

Also parsley, dill, cilantro, oregano, peppermint, lemon balm, sage, thyme and more!

We have lots of marigolds, morning glories, bachelor buttons, bee’s friend, impatience, nasturtiums, 4 o’clocks, blue globe thistle, pink and red poppies, browallia, blue hyacinth bean, scarlet runner bean, balloon flowers, coldness dahlia, false indigo, nigella, verbena, Mexican sunflower, angel trumpet, blackberry lilies and more annuals and perennials. 

And last but not least, over 50 varieties of native plants and grasses!

Note that tomatoes and peppers need to be started early in Minnesota, but so do many other herbs, annuals, perennials and native plants. The seed catalogs will give you information on when to start specific seeds.

So now that you have lots of seeds to choose from, you need to know how to start those seeds. Our next Seed Talk will help you with that.

How to Start Seeds

• Find out how to start vegetable, flower, herb and native plant seeds
• What does stratifying mean and when to use it?
• No registration needed
• Bring your favorite seed starting equipment and share with other gardeners!

We’ll discuss how to start seeds and when to start seeds. All types of seeds including vegetables, annuals and flowers. I’ll bring some of the supplies I use to start seeds and I encourage you to bring what works best for you to share. The pros and cons of multiple methods of starting seeds will benefit all of us! This Seed Talk is for beginners and the seasoned gardeners who start plants from seeds.

Seed Talks are really group discussions! Bring your tips and questions.

Note: We are now in the questionable weather time of the year. If the weather looks difficult for driving I will cancel the Seed Talk or seed packaging. I will send out an email and contact the library so you can always call the library for any last minute changes. White Bear Lake library: 651-724-6007

Hope to see you there!
