Participants will learn step-by-step instructions for harvesting backyard seeds for Carrots, Lettuce, Beets, Peas, Beans, Potatoes, Parsnips, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Kale, Corn, including which are best for beginners and why. There will be a hands-on demonstration of how to chaff the various types of seeds, how to know when the seeds are ready to harvest, how to store the seeds, how many plants are needed for true stock, the various isolation methods for seed purity, and you will learn how open-pollinated (heirloom) seeds work and why they are necessary for seed saving. Each student will get hands-on chaffing and seed separating experience, and we will tour Caleb’s garden to see real-life examples of all of the stages of backyard seed production. Each student will go home with a workbook including vegetable-by-vegetable instructions for seed-saving.
