Well, the 12th Annual ACORN Organic Conference has come and gone and I'm so pleased that they included me! There was a great turnout on Friday afternoon for my talk on Winter Greens: Sprouts, Shoots and Cold Frames and I also was able to connect with old friends and meet new ones.
I stopped back at the conference again yesterday morning to take part in Seedy Sunday! I know it's a bit early to be buying seeds and it's certainly not like I NEED more seeds....... but, I really really wanted more! I tried to practice restraint and I know that I should take an inventory before I bought more, so I tried to focus on seeds that I haven't tried before or ones that I knew I was out of (dinosaur kale!)
 |
| I missed meeting Andrea Berry, the owner of Hope Seed in person, but stocked up anyway on some fine seeds - crystal apple cukes, Rossa Di Milano red onion (barrel-shaped heirloom!), etc.. |
 |
| Owen Bridge of Annapolis Seeds said he's adding 40 more heirloom tomatoes to his 2012 catalogue - I had trouble restraining myself from trying them all.. |
 |
| Note the Montreal Melon! It's an old heirloom from around 1900, but disappeared before being rediscovered! |
 |
| Michelle Fike of Pumpkin Moon Herbals has such gorgeous seed packets!! I also bought a mixed runner bean packet, but gave it to my mother-in-law.. |
