The first in our Trail Mix series! It all starts and ends with seeds. We discuss which new seeds we’re trying this season and defend Jonathan’s AI garden organizing system. Jeannette tries purple dead nettle from the backyard and Jonathan talks about which seeds need to get cold, broken, and swallowed to germinate. We go into the future of seeds and the difference between seed banks, seed libraries, and seed sanctuaries. Jonathan gives us some tips for saving seeds and Jeannette shares a spell for planting on March 19th (the new moon and last frost date in Salem).
