RT @nick_routledge: 3/ Don't forget today's noon PST briefing on #PNW #wintercropping. As usual, I suspect we'll devote part of our workshop to consideration of common efforts to effectively address the local challenge of global structures of power enfleshed, literally, in the fabric of life itself.

Saturday, June 10, 1.00 p.m. - 3.00 p.m. Cottage Grove Public Library 700 E Gibbs Ave, Cottage Grove, OR 97424 Yes, it’s early! But mid-to-late June is when experienced local farmers and gardeners seed the great majority of vegetable crops feeding us through winter. Please join us for a workshop, conversation and seed exchange focused on our 'longest harvest season of the year’. We’ll be talking crops, timing, tactics, slugs and a whole lot more. Our instructors, Andrew Still of Adaptive Seeds, and Nick Routledge of the Agrarian Sharing Network, have extensive experience raising field and greenhouse crops into the October-through-May harvest-window. They have been teaching winter cropping for PNW farmers and gardeners since 2003.
@GRAIN_org 2/ For many reasons, our home-base ecoregion is a world center for plant-breeding and seed-increases. Not unrelatedly, we are also the ‘de facto’ heartland of the US holistic plant-breeding movement. As such, the field politics of seed ecology is especially complex, hereabouts.
