For all you seed savers it is time to get together and become inspired.
There is a Seed Exchange
Wednesday, January 11, 2017
People's Food Coop
3029 SE 21st Ave, Portland, OR
5 pm - 8 pm
organized by Marisha

Join us for a Seed Exchange and plan for the coming growing season!

Here are our guidelines for a successful seed exchange:
-- Bring seeds to offer into the swap. It's a seed swap, not a seed giveaway.
-- While we'd like to focus primarily on vegetables, medicinals and other "functional" species, seeds for ornamentals are wonderful to share as well.
-- Please label your seeds with the species and variety (and also open-pollinated vs. hybrid, if known).
-- Please do not bring unknown seeds or seeds that are too old to germinate reliably. You could consider seeds that are more than 6 years old to be too old. If your seeds are between 2-4 years old, we may want to combine them with other seeds for making seedballs.
-- Bring containers to take seeds home in (small jars, empty seed packets, empty teabag packets, etc.)

If you do not have seeds to share, no problem. Just make sure to save seeds from the seeds you gather and bring them back for next year's seed exchange!

A new app allows you to scan a product in the supermarket aisle and learn who exactly is behind that box of cereal. More impressively, you can join user-created campaigns to boycott groups of companies who may have lobbied against a cause you believe in.

Abstract: Having a neighborly chat improves seed germination, finds research in BioMed Central's open access journal BMC Ecology.

Nearing dusk, I donned my garden scissors
and found the reasons for shiny trails and large chewed holes in the
daffodils, kale leaves, artichoke leaves and a myriad of other fresh green growth

There they were

all stretched out sliding over the grass

I made two slugs
out of
one.

Those little varmints will not be feasting tonight
or tomorrow.

Another snipping opportunity awaits
at dawn

and at
dusk
