Stories from someone who is learning to grow
I’ve made like a squirrel this year, saving a bunch of seeds. Since the zinnia seeds, I’ve saved…
…columbine,….
…cilantro,…
….and echinacea.
I’m also patiently waiting for my own cilantro and beans to be ready to dry…
And don’t forget about the squash! I will definitely be saving some of those seeds when I finally cut into it.
The cilantro is basically harvestable now, which I’m happy about, but it’s rather floppy and leggy.
The zucchini and squash that I planted almost a week ago are still alive. And growing! It’s a miracle!
Last Friday, I had the day off of work due to July 4th, and took the opportunity to plant a few seeds. I had brought a handful of seed packets down with me — most of which were two to three years old. Couldn’t hurt to put them in dirt, though, right?
