Wow Gardeners! It's Fall!
That means it's harvest time and we are picking a lot of food from the garden! Our garden produce is donated to the Berkeley Food Pantry each week.
This Summer and now into Fall, we grew (or are growing): Lettuce, chard, kale, basil, parsley, sour sorrel, corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, tomatillos, grapes, zucchinis, pumpkins, butternut squash, acorn squash, kabocha squash, beans, garlic, onions, raspberries, potatoes, strawberries, plums, sunflowers, herbs like mint, oregano, chives, and rosemary, and we have ONE persimmon on our Fuyu persimmon tree!
One of my favorite parts of Fall harvest is SAVING SEEDS.
People like Vandana Shiva, an Indian scholar, are teaching the world about the importance of saving seeds and growing your own food:

*We can save seeds from each plant we grow and then plant them again in the next season:
Seeds move from place to place!
*Can you think of ways seeds move around?
*Which seeds would YOU like to save and grow?
