UN experts warn the EU: Proposed NGT & seed laws violate peasant rights under #UNDROP. They threaten the right to save & exchange seeds, risk patent abuse due to lack of traceability, and undermine local food systems. #Seeds #NGT #FoodSovereignty

Looks like the sweet peas (Matucana) are taking off already. I hope I have enough room to keep them indoors until spring 😬

Spent the day processing these lovely peppers for seed and then also for eating. The seeds came from Saltwater Seeds in Washington State, America and did really well for me. Hopefully will get into a UK and Ireland seed catalogue, watch this space #seedsaving #seeds #growing #food

The image shows seed capsules from a plant, a species of Silene, also known as "Sleepy Catchfly" or "Bladder Campion."
Several pale orange or yellow seed capsules are visible. The capsules have a bell-shaped or urn-like shape and are located at the top of thin, dry stems. Some of the capsules have remnants of dried petals or sepals attached to the base.
Fine webs or silk filaments can be seen extending between the stems and the capsules. The stems are dry and light brown.
The plant is illuminated by warm light, possibly from the sun, which highlights its color. The background is out of focus and dark, making the main subject stand out.

Could thunderstorms hold the key to stronger crops?
By Halina Baczkowski

A Cairns biotech startup is combining Indigenous knowledge of "rainmaking" with modern science to develop an electrical seed treatment hoping to improve crop growth.

Canadian gov' is considering giving billionaire corporations exclusive rights to keep seeds, outlawing farmer & Indigenous seed keeping practices Please sign petition e-6778 #Farm #Farming #Agriculture #AgroEcology #AgroEcosystems #Ag #SustainableAg #SustAg #Seeds www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

It was volunteer night at my urban farm, and I was gifted a clump of garlic chives that were growing out of some stairs I was weeding. Have transplanted them to one of my porch containers. I also accepted some French marigold seeds, sight-unseen..which looks to be about one lifetime's worth. I spent the evening removing them from their pods and packaging them up. At least I can start a box of things to donate to seed libraries. #garden #gardening #nature #seeds #seedsaving
A hand holding a clump of garlic chives. The leaves are green with forming seedpods, and the white roots are visible.A hand-sized pile of empty dried marigold buds lies next to a sandwich bag of cleaned marigold seeds.Dangling the bag shows it is solidly half full.The bag is much emptier, and now surrounded by 25 paper envelopes labeled with "French Marigold 2025."

A large metal bowl containing flower cuttings from various plants including, but not limited to: carpet flowers, peppermint stick zinnias, mammoth grey striped & claret sunflowers, black eyed susans, hollyhocks, and some others.
Garden shears sit atop the collection of trimmings.
I got another batch of tomatoes, so doing round two of seedsaving. I'll make sure to stop at 3 days, or when the gel clearly washes off the seeds. This time, I've got a properly-ripe tomato confirmed to be a Blush Tiger, and also a Black Cherry. Both of those are heirlooms. The last one is a Sungold I figured I'll try for funsies. That one's an F1 hybrid, so there's a greater chance it will have crossed with something. It's a shame I don't have more garden space to experiment. #garden #gardening #nature #seedsaving #seeds #tomatoes

Who pays for Africa’s food future?
A new movement is challenging the financial stranglehold of agribusiness and foreign lenders, arguing that Africa’s future lies not in extractive monocultures but in agroecology, sovereignty, and collective resistance.

#Canadians - Please sign this #petition & share it widely!

#Defend #SeedSaving #Rights 🙏

A proposed federal rule would remove #farmers right to save #seeds from new fruit, vegetable, ornamental and hybrid #plants - raising costs, and limiting local #climate adaptation. Tell our Government to defend seed-saving rights.
