SUMMARY:September 2023 General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Well\, we’ve had quite the Summer with our weather: hot and dry\, cold and wet\, windy (very!!!)\, smoky and everything in between.  With the approach of Autumn\, let’s hope that Mother Nature calms down a bit!\n– Our next GGG meeting is Wednesday September 6\, 2023 beginning at 7:00pm\n– IN PERSON at the Greely Community Centre\, 1448 Meadow Drive\, Greely.\n– $5.00 guest fee OR purchase your 2023 memberships for $15.00\nOur guest for this meeting is Rebecca Last\, Master Gardener.\n– Her topic is “Seed Saving and Storage.”\n– Learn the basics of saving seeds\, plant genetics\, collection techniques\, storage and viability. You may even be able to breed your own varieties\, adapted specifically to growing conditions in your garden! This presentation provides an introduction to seed saving\, beginning from the premise that in today’s concentrated market for seed producers\, saving seeds is an act of quiet revolution. The differences between hybridized and open-pollinated plants are discussed. We revisit Gregor Mendel’s 19th Century experiments with peas to get a better understanding of the dominant and recessive traits for some common vegetable seeds. We will also look at seed varieties that are suitable for beginner\, intermediate and expert seed-savers. Timing and collection methods are discussed\, along with information on seed sanitation and storage. Finally\, we discuss long-term viability of seeds\, and the presentation ends with a list of useful resources.\n***NOTE***\nAs is the norm nowadays for gatherings\, if you don’t feel well\, please stay at home.\nPlease contact the Greely Gardeners at greelygardenersgroup@gmail.com if you have questions or if you can offer your help.
