Introducing your Pollinator Packs!

​Hi all, Jon here!
Pictured is the grouping of Pollinator Friendly Seeds included in this year's Great American Seed-Up bundle - just mailed out, today! Each seed packet contains planting instructions - including when to plant them, how much sun & water is needed, as well as a helpful link to learn more about seed sharing.
Each collection of adaptable, non-GMO heirloom seeds are suited for both growing and saving. While all of the vegetables are great for eating, I recommend letting the strongest, most robust plants flower and go to seed, ensuring the best seed genetic possible while attracting precious pollinators to your gardens. These same seeds can then be saved for the next season and shared with your neighbors and friends.
Be brave and add a few seed pods to any salad (arugula, radish, mustard greens). Squash or zucchini flowers are wonderful stuffed, breaded and fried!
Allowing carrots, parsley, dill and broccoli to flower will attract all kinds of amazing bugs to the Party. And, remember: there are no "bad" bugs in the garden. They all have a purpose, Mother Nature knows what she is doing, and we are all just along for the ride. Like Bob Ross used to say "there are no mistakes, just happy accidents". Slow down and observe the magic!
For those few that have not yet responded with address and payment ($24) - now is the time to get that wrapped up.
We appreciate your participation and hope we can create a true seed-sharing experience amongst one another for 2023.
With gratitude,
