Next Seed Pickup Saturday Jan 30th!

Hello Gardeners!

The White Bear Lake Seed Library has received many new donated seeds of lettuce, melon, squash, and other vegetables. Check the blog to find out what is new.

The blog site has changed a bit. Thanks to Meghan Meyer who re-formatted and placed all the seed lists into Google Sheets, the seed lists are much more readable! The seed list is now 3 seed lists: one for vegetables and herbs, one for annuals and perennials and one for native plant seeds. If you look on the right hand side of the home page of the blogsite you will find the links to the seed lists. Let me know if you have any problems using the new lists.

 

Plant Companions

Seed Talk, February 9, 2021 6:30 pm on Zoom

Will planting marigolds by your tomatoes really keep away harmful bugs? Does planting tomatoes next to cabbage repel caterpillars from eating cabbage leaves?

Is companion planting a bunch of mumbo-jumbo or is there science to back it up?

I’ll share some proven plant companions that will help your garden grow.

As always, seed talks are community get-togethers! Please share you experiences and questions at the seed talk. You must register in advance for this Zoom seed talk.

Feb Seed Talk

If you find the event is full please let me or the library know. The number of participants can be increased. Also, you must sign up 2 hours in advance so there is time for the facilitator to send you the email to join the meeting.

 

Do You Need Seeds?

The next seed pickup is Saturday Jan 30^th; 11:00-11:30 am at the White Bear Lake library’s parking lot.  Also, due to someone who couldn’t make it on Saturday, I’ll be at the library’s parking lot for you to pick up your seeds on Monday, Feb 1^st at 1:30 pm. Please specify which pick up date you will be coming. Now it gets dark too soon to have a seed pickup later in the day during a weekday. Also, as it is winter, the date may have to be rescheduled due to snow storms or excessive cold. Look at the seed lists on the blogsite. Order seeds by 9 am Jan 30^th by sending me a list of specific seeds you want at wblseedlibrary@gmail.com.

If Jan 30^th doesn’t work for you I can meet you at the White Bear Lake library’s parking lot on a different day. Just send me an email and we can work out a time. Also, if you’d like to package seeds you can pick up supplies at this time, but please send me an email so I can put together the supplies before you come.
