ESSENTIAL SEED SAVING TECHNIQUES FOR HOME AND SMALL FARM
May 4 — Instructor: Carol Deppe, Ph.D., geneticist, plant breeder, advocate for sustainable agriculture and farm-based research, and author of "Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties: The Gardener's and Farmer's Guide to Plant Breeding and Seed Saving".
Food Security begins with the saving of seeds. On a small scale the techniques are crop specific. This used to be a skill passed through families. In our urbanized culture that has not been the case. Here's an opportunity to learn from those who do it successfully (most of the time) year after year.
* When to pick and what to pick
* Problems with possible crossing
* The range of post harvest cleaning and preparation practices
* Storage strategies
* Planting for seed production
* Reliable sources when things don't work out
