[snekdood]

so I found this really cool website that sells native seeds- and you might be asking me "snekdood, haven't you posted an entire list of websites that sell native wildflower seeds that you're going to add on to soon?" and yes that's true, but that's not the kind of native seed im talking about rn.

see, on my quest to find websites that sell native wildflowers, I came across this dope ass website that sells seeds that have been farmed and harvested by ntv people traditionally, i'll let the website do the talking:

so anyways this is the coolest website ever. you can find the wild relatives of chiles on here called chiltepines, you can find different colors of corn and cool squash's, and every seed from whichever farm has it's own lil origin story written about it. you can also find other veggies here that are already commercially available to help fund and support this organization. as well as there being a cool gift shop with a lot of art made by different native folk from all around as well as cookbooks, jewelry, pottery, weavings, and clearly plenty more:

as well as a pantry?? with premade soup mixes??? and i really want to try them now??????

anyways I think its worth snoopin' around bc I'm almost positive you'll see something you think is cool (oh also if you happen to have some seeds passed down from ur family too and ur also native they seem like they would gladly help produce more)

Seed Suppliers for Spring

If you're anything like me, the second the calendar flips to a new year, you're already looking ahead to the spring planting season. Whether you're growing from seed trays or just picking up plants from your local nursery, gardening is a fabulous hobby that can be both fun and productive.

For my fellow green-thumbs, here are some awesome garden supply sites where you can get everything from tools to seeds to live plants shipped directly to you. Most will mail you a free catalog if you request one and offer plants that can be grown in containers as well as in-ground gardens.

Burpee Seeds and Plants

Ferry-Morse Home Gardening

Gardener's Supply Company

Gurney's Seed and Nursery Co.

Harris Seeds

Seed Savers Exchange

If you're looking to do something a little different, consider trying an heirloom vegetable variety or an unusual flower. Remember to check your growing zone, soil type, and space requirements before purchase and good luck!

EDIT: Removed one recommendation, see comments. (Thanks everyone for letting me know, I had no idea!)

Heads up:

It's january, which means it's seed-buying time for many gardeners! So, here is your reminder: Do not buy anything from Baker Creek / Rareseeds. com ; they are racist, anti-vaxxers; they steal varieties from Native communities, are friends with Clive Bundy, wanted to invite Robert F Kennedy Jr to one of their seed expos. They've fundraised for the homophobic and misogynistic Salvation Army

They have adopted young children from asian countries to use as free advertising for their "~exotic Asian seed varieties~" by having them pose with all of the (stolen + renamed) Asian varieties as young children-- might have to check the Wayback Machine to see this in action, or look at physical seed packets for this, as they've cut back on it after coming underfire for such a gross practice.

Anyways, would you like to know who you SHOULD support this year when purchasing seeds?

Experimental Farm Network, who has been nothing but vocally supportive of Palestinians and calling for everyone to do what they can to end the genocide Israel is committing.

[ID: A facebook post by Experimental Farm Network, which shows a hand holding three young, fuzzy Yakteen gourds, which are oblong, light green fruits with a visible fuzz on the outside, with dried blossoms visible on the ends. The post reads: "These are 'Palestine Yakteen' gourds at almost the perfect size for harvest. I normally would've waited to pick them about twice as large, when they're still tender and delicious. But the first big frost (a couple months ago) had killed the plant, so these were officially done. The plant was a volunteer in my backyard. I didn't even know it was there until about September, and in November I was enjoying these first — and last — fruit (with garlic, parsley, salt, and Palestinian olive oil). It was, no doubt, the most bittersweet meal of my life. Today is the 100th day of unimaginable violence against Palestinians in Gaza. South Africa is arguing in the International Court of Justice that Israel is committing genocide. Hundreds of Gazans are still dying every day, from bombings, yes, but now also from hunger, thirst, disease, and exposure. From the comfort of our heated homes, with our drinkable running water, working toilets, and well-stocked pantries, in communities with functioning clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies available to us should we need them, it's impossible to really understand what life is like in Gaza right now. It may seem incongruous — or even trite — to post a picture of some pretty vegetables in this context, but the Yakteen can serve as an important reminder of the humanity and beauty of Palestinian people and their ancient culture. They are not nameless, faceless nobodies. They tend gardens, smell flowers, celebrate with family and friends over steaming dishes of lovingly prepared food. They love deeply. They sing and dance and laugh. They are just like you or me. Please do not only remember them today. Take action to help them. Or resolve to take action. Or reach out and ask someone how you can take action. Do something. Please. Because you can. end ID]

This is just one of many posts they have shared on their social medias since the genocide began, and they have been partnered with Palestine Heirloom Seed Library to help raise funds; each packet of seeds from their Palestine collection has 50% of the proceeds going towards funding the Seed Library, and they

If you have friends or family who order from Baker Creek, please let them know exactly who they are supporting -- and reassure them that dozens of other seed companies with much better ethics are out there, offering those exact same "rare" varieties! Seedsavers.org is another great heirloom alternative, with the bonus that they regularly work on seed Rematriation- returning Native heirloom varieties to the indiginous communities who created them

So one day on Instagram I saw a reel of someone sharing these vibrant pink runner beans, and they were so pink people were accusing them of faking for attention. Well, thanks to Seed Savers Exchange, I have seen them for myself! Yes, when taken right out of the green pod, they’re very pink!

Heirloom seeds of change

Thank goodness we still have access to open pollinated, heirloom and non GMO food crop seeds. Global mass food production systems are currently under huge stress and, in some cases, becoming unviable.

‘Grow it yourself’ may soon become a survival reality.

The mass scale GMO seed and pesticide system is unsuited to the home grower. Open pollinated and heirloom seeds are ideal for the individual, small scale gardener for so many reasons.

Non GMO, heirloom seeds are still available because generations of gardeners who care have fought hard to keep them in the public domain, freely accessible for all of humanity. To those gardeners who have gone before me I offer my deepest gratitude for the precious inheritance you have left us.

Blue Cream Berries Tomato

This post has been languishing in my draft folder since 2020, so I’m posting it now with minimal edits while I wait for the gardening season to start around here. I dug through my camera roll on my phone and only had one singular photo of these tomatoes. This one is a newer tomato. It doesn’t have a history dating back to the turn of the last century. It was developed by Brad Gates of Wild Boar…

Unlock Your Green Thumb: Easy and Successful Seeds to Kickstart Your Garden

Last week I started my tomato, eggplant, pepper, and several herb seeds. I also potted up almost 100 asparagus crowns to sell at this years farmers markets. To say the least… I am soooo happy & excited. You all know how much I love this time of year, and long for it during winters cold days. Here in Michigan, we’ve had our USDA Hardiness Zone changed from 4-5 to 5-6. If you’re a gardener, you…

Red fox carlin peas

After a few days in the garage and then a few more days in a sheltered outdoor spot, the red fox carlins have gone in. They'll still need some protection when it gets cold, so I have a fleece on standby.

I wanted to grow Red Fox Carlins because of the story associated with them: "... first recorded during Elizabethan times.[8][7] It has been suggested that the name "Carlin" comes from "Carling Sunday" or "Care Sunday" after the population of Newcastle were saved from starvation in a siege of 1327 or 1644 when a ship arrived from Norway with a cargo of these peas on that day.[9]" (from wikipedia). I love heirloom veggies, and we're growing more than a few heirloom peas this year, along with a few more modern peas like Alderman.

The crimson flowered fava have gone in too, as seeds. The squirrels find them irresistible so a lattice of offcuts from when I made my woven compost bin has been pressed into service.

You would think that by January I would be done drying pumpkin seeds but I got so many pumpkins this year that I still have several batches going and probably 8 pumpkins left to do.

Seeds of Self-Sufficiency

To have a garden, you must plant seeds and to have seeds, you must have had good plants. It’s like the chicken and the egg story. There’s nothing that demonstrates the independent nature of Americans throughout their history than the ability to grow their own food. During the early years of the United States, American pioneers didn’t have access to seed catalogs like we do today so they had to…
