Saving garden seeds tips and harvest notes from Marion County fair
Gardeners are urged not to save seeds from true hybrids due to unpredictable results and cross pollination risks even with open pollinated varieties. Easy seeds to save include lettuce, chives, dill, mustard greens, peas, beans, winter onion sets, garlic sets, and some tomatoes like yellow pear. Dry seeds thoroughly, store in paper bags, label and date. Harvest onions when stems fall and dry, then hang in a cool dry place. Prioritize non keepers Bermudas and Red Hamburger, Ebenezer keeps well. Keep squash and cucumbers picked to extend bearing. Reports note pests wilt affecting vines and Cushaw squash borers. Marion County fair displays were excellent in fruit, outstanding in flowers.
