Have you got a favourite #Irish #seeds supplier? Mine is the fabulous Brown Envelope Seeds, in which @HollyCairnsTD is a partner with her mum Madeline McKeever. Clearly there was no plan to go into politics when they named the company 😂
Also one of only two #OpenPollinated organic seed producers in the country.

#GeneticDiversity in our crops is incredibly important for #FoodSecurity and truly #sustainable #agriculture.
Yesterday M harvested a little plot of an #indigenous variety of #corn he'd planted specifically to reproduce the seed. It turns out the seed was crossed, with very few true to variety cobs being harvested. But so it goes with #OpenPollinated seed sourced from the #campesino #community.
We'll see what he does with this seed. It did produce spectacularly well.

Got #gardening on your mind as we move through winter?
Get #organic, #OpenPollinated seeds from my brother, now. (Especially if you live in the #Midwest.)

So excited for the coming growing season... My #greenhouse is being moved to my new #allotment and extended, I'm enrolled on the #IrishSeedSavers 2 year course, and will be dedicating my old plot to #seedproduction and a #treenursery. Also, my #SeedDelivery just arrived so this evening will be spent plotting the plot!! #seeds #openpollinated #seedsaving

Seed saving movement calls for seeds to be publicly owned.
It's not just land that needs to be put back into the commons.
