Seedsaving and the Winter Garden

The dry weather in August encourages seeds to ripen fully.  We will cover the fundamentals of how to collect, clean, and store seeds so you have the confidence to grow next year’s garden from your own harvest.   August is a critical month for planting the winter garden to provide food for your household in autumn, winter, and spring.  This class will highlight what to prioritize in the garden this month, how to save and store seeds, and what to plant now for harvests in the cool season.  Handouts include seed saving guides, resources on winter gardening, and our monthly “to do” list. 

This is the August class of the Grow Your Own Produce Workshop series.
