Seed cleaning and Packing

On February 11th, many of the Perth Dupont Community Gardeners got together at a friends home to pack seeds in preparation for Seedy Saturday.

Even though the weather was very rainy, everyone that said that they would come, came! Our host was Lindsay, and her 2 children. There was Talia, Gay, Edward and his sister Indra, Mr. Patel and his friend, an agricultural expert from India, Dalia, Kevin, and Andrea, a new gardener and her 2 children, as well as 2 regular volunteers: Brenda and her son, and Nao.

The types of seeds we collected last summer: Radishes, Mustard Greens, Dill, Coriander (aka Cilantro), Beans, and Angelica. We also packed some Fennel, Sunflower Seeds, and a few other seeds too.

It was a pot-luck event, so everyone brought some great snacks, most of it was organic in nature, all of it was yummy! and very much appreciated.

This was a wonderful event, as we shared techniques on seed packing envelops and measuring out the seeds, we were able to catch up on each others activities for the past few months. The conversations around the table were happy and up building. The children were very helpful as they helped us make the seed envelops and helped seal, and label them as well
