Ep. 56 Unexpected Seed Opportunities In Your Cold Room
About this episode
This episode discusses unexpected seed opportunities from stored root crops in cold storage.
This minisode is about unexpected seed opportunities in your cold room. And those opportunities are the roots you're storing in that cold room and haven't eaten yet. Most root crops are biennials, and you might be able to plant these roots as second year biennials and get a seed crop this summer! This is true for onions, turnips, rutabagas, winter radish, beets, carrots, parsnips, and more! In this episode, we'll get into… • How to choose the best roots from what you have in storage • The importance of an intact growing point • Tips for breaking dormancy in the spring • What to if you're not totally sure what varieties you have in storage • How many roots you should plant out Enjoy the episode Support the Seed Farmer Podcast http://spreadsheet.farm/supportpodcast Stay in Touch Follow the Seed Farmer on instagram Get my weekly seed newsletter Order Tourne-Sol seeds (Canadian orders only) Get my new book The Seed Farmer https://danbrisebois.com/seedfarmerbook/ ❤️ Thanks for listening!
