<p>If you think this is cool and interesting, I'm giving a Basic Seeding Class, March 17. Check it out and register through the Whatcom Folk School. I'll be covering how to plan for seed saving in your garden, basics of plant breeding, how to select, process and store seeds. Also some things not to do, eh?</p>
