Mail goodness

I was not sure if this was going to make it. but it did and I'm so happy.

Semillas

It's a small order from Horizon Herbs, which I found via farmmama (my new favorite blog), I found very interesting that they would have a special kit of seed for dyeing plants.


Maíz azul

I plant them last night, and I'm super excited. I got some blue corn, which I used to eat when living in Mexico, purple onion, Epazote, which is great to get rid of parasites and also for good taste on beans; some medicinal as flax seed, yarrow and comfrey, and some that may not be in their best environment, but maybe will grow, as asparagus and tea tree.


Almácigo

I also start a mini quilt for a nephew baby who's shower is in two weeks.

Collecting seeds from what you eat

The other I was ask on my technique to collect the seed of what we eat to grow them later.


Recolección de semillas

It's almost embarrassing to share it, because it's quite simple, I just wash them and let them to dry in a plate.

Semillas

I collect almos everything, I thing that we may find a use for them even when we were not able to grow them.

And sometimes I just plant the fresh pulp and it works.
