Seedy Saturday!
I got all the seeds I needed for the year (including tobacco!) at Seedy Saturday, hosted by Helping Nature Heal, in Bridgewater.Nova Scotia's "big" organic seed companies were all there vending seeds - Hope Seeds, Annapolis Seed, Cochrane Family Seeds, plus more - Twisted Brook, Yonder Hill, Storm Cast, and the South Shore Public Library's Seed Library.Then there was the free seed table, where attendees dropped off their surplus saved seeds for others to take- lots of flower seeds!Since I was saving so much on shipping costs, I came home with a few "flights of fancy" seeds (peanuts?!) that will make this year's experiments.I met Nikki Jabbour, local celebrity author and year-round gardener, who gave the morning lecture, and there was a delicious soup or chili lunch with bread and popcorn, donations accepted for the food bank.This was Helping Nature Heal's 11th Seedy Saturday, but the first time I made it. It was packed, unsurprisingly.
