Hi Kathrina,
We joined Auckland seedsavers at last years AGM but havent heard anything back from you folks. Can you tell me if the form was processed. I think it will be under my sisters name: Marnie Clout. We were talking to the beekeeper man at the time we signed up. It sounds like I missed an awesome meeting!!!
cheers to you all,
Steph
Hi Kathrina
I won't be able to attend your meeting, however I would like to let you know that i have recently created and published a book 'Seed Saving at Home for Common Home Vegetables' It is comprehensive and detailed, and based on the teachings of the experts and my own experiences of applying this knowledge to ensure your seeds are genetically pure.
Anyone interested in purchasing this book can email me at broomstik@callsouth.net.nz to order a copy. $29.00 incl postage for 40 A4 pages and colour pics. Have fun and keep the seed saving spirit going. Namaste Carol Raethel Cert Hort, Dip HS and years of experience saving seeds.
