Last week the Urban Farm Museum Society hosted "Seedy Saturday." It was a
wonderful opportunity to pick up seeds for this summer's gardens, and to
learn. But if you missed it, you can still get good seeds. 

Sust-mar's own (!) Marjorie Willison was handing out seed catalogs from
Mapple Farms, an outfit in N.B. that has non-hybrid seeds that are
bioregional and well-suited to our Maritime climes.

To obtain their email seed catalog, send an email to:

mailto:wingate@nbnet.nb.ca

I have no connection with this business -- and as this email probably
attests, extremely little gardening knowledge. However, this does appear
to me to be a source of inexpensive and "sustainable" seeds. I welcome
comments from more knowledgeable folks (that will be almost everyone!).

As an aside, i personally call on gardeners to BOYCOTT Halifax Seed. 

Halifax Seed fought vigorously AGAINST HRM's anti-pesticide bylaw, and
spread misinformation about same. Again, this opinion is my own personally
and not necessarily that of any of the individual's and organizations
mentioned in this email. 

Happy Gardening!

P.S. Your loyal scribe spotted Paul Shreenan, host of "Ecolos" on CKDU
97.5 FM, cycling to Seedy Saturday, in a blizzard. Sustainable
transport, to start a sustainable garden!   :)
