Seeds for Next Year's Garden

This week we all met at the Interpretive Center for a favorite indoor activity - seed packaging!  As you know, one of our goals for the garden is to produce seeds for sharing with the public, and for planting in next year's garden much as the pioneers would have done.

We took all our bags of dried seeds, labels and packaging and spent two pleasant hours filling envelopes, and catching up with each other.  (The conversation is really the best part!)

If you are interested in collecting your own seeds take a look at the Clackamas County Master Gardeners 10-Minute University handout -  https://cmastergardeners.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/2014savingseeds.pdf   This should give you a good start towards collecting and sharing seeds from your own garden next year!
