A new page has been added to the right hand menu with full notes from the Seed Workshop day held in March.

Sieves and buckets ready for use

The day was dedicated to learning more about collecting, cleaning and storing your own seeds. The notes also contain some useful links to other web sites with more details on cleaning different kinds of seed.  There are also some useful notes on the main Mediterranean Garden Society web site together with the list of seed available for members.

When plants perform well and it is difficult to buy more, growing them from seed can be the only way to make more available for planting.  Growing from seed also can provide surplus plants for swaps or for sale at events.

I think it might be important to add that while  growing plants from seed is great fun, it can also be addictive !!
