Time to think about seeds again
Sunday, February 15th, 2009Even though we’re still in the middle of winter, last week’s (almost) spring-like weather is a gentle reminder that spring is coming. It’s time to head to your local Seedy Saturday/Sunday to swap and buy seeds, attend workshops and get inspired to grow your own food. I am obsessed with the heirloom tomato varieties and can’t wait to buy more unusual tomato seeds. After eating only Ontario garlic this past year (it tastes so much better, a milder taste, not pungent at all), I’m inspired to try growing my own.
The Seedy Saturday in Toronto is on February 28 this year, at a new location – the Wychwood Barn. The theme this year is potatoes.
Here’s a list of Seedy events in the next month in Canada.
