It's the good news and the bad news

We have our seed balls out in 8 of the 10 sites. There are still a few sites available for adoption for adoption. If you are interested let me know. we will still be documenting throughout the summer and fall.

Now on to the bad news. We have had no rain this spring to speak of so the seed balls have not germinated but the GOOD NEWS is this is exactly why we used seed balls. They will just rest there until the environment is perfect for their growth, safe, sound and protected from predators and wind. Most will germinate this winter for harvest next spring. Unfortunately we will have to cancel the harvest this year.

Adopt a site, seed balls are broadcast…mostly

We have now identified 11 good sites and continue looking for more. If you know of a perfect site in your neighborhood and would be willing for this project to adopt it send me a picture and the address. To adopt a site all you have to do is broadcast the seeds and weekly check how they are doing. A picture to me and posts to this site documenting growth would be good.

The site criteria are: 1) it must have public access 2) be untended 3) within the city limits 4) non toxic 5) not be set aside for native restoration. That's it.

The seeds we broadcasted this weekend should be ready for harvest in May. Of course there is no way to be sure the exact date. Watch for updates.

We still have some sites to get seeds to. If you can help email me @ lp@lauraparkerstudio.com and we can figure out how to get you seed balls.
