Seed Saving Tips: For brussel sprouts: Seed heads will not develop until early spring, so overwintering the plant will be necessary. If the climate is cold, this means digging up the plant and storing it, stem and all, in moist sand at a temperature of about 40 degrees F. Replant 3-4 weeks before the last spring frost. Allow the sprouts left on the plant to flower, mature, and fully dry on the stem. The seed heads will open as soon as they are dry and brown, so watch them closely in order to save the seed before it falls to the ground. Store Long Island Improved Brussels sprouts seeds in a cool, dry place for up to five years.

Seed Savings Tips: For Parsley: Though most varieties of parsley can survive below zero temperatures when mulched well, another method of overwintering is to dig up the entire plant, cut down the stems to 1″, and plant it in sand; keep it in a 32-40 degrees F location until spring replanting. Watch the developing Parsley herb seed heads carefully, since they tend to shatter easily; pick each one as it becomes dry and mature. Additional drying time may be needed. Clean Parsley seeds by rubbing the heads through a screen or shaking them. Store parsley seeds in a cool, dry place for up to 4 years. Of course if you’d like to grow your own parsley, seeds are available at:

Recipe Monday: Cranberry Biscuits: 1-2/3 cups milk (70 to 80°F) 2 eggs 3 tablespoons butter, softened 3/4 cup mashed potato flakes 1/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons salt 1-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon grated orange peel 4 cups bread flour 1 tablespoon active dry yeast 1 cup dried cranberries Orange Glaze: 1 cup confectioners sugar 2 to 3 tablespoons orange juice 3 tablespoons chopped dried cranberries, optional In bread machine pan, place the first 10 ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed). Just before final kneading (your machine may audibly signal this) add cranberries. When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cover and let rest 15 minutes. Roll or pat to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2 inch, biscuit cutter. Place in a greased 15"x10"x1" baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 40 minutes. Bake at 375°F for 10-25 minutes or until golden brown. Combine confectioners' sugar and enough orange juice to achieve a glaze consistency. Drizzle over warm biscuits. Sprinkle with chopped cranberries if desired.

Seed Saving Tips: For lettuce: As the days of summer begin to lengthen, the lettuce will bolt, or send up a stalk. To avoid selecting negative traits, gather seed from the plants that are slow to bolt. After the stalk flowers and produces pods, the pods will turn light brown and split open; in order to prevent seed loss, shake the head of the stalk into a bag every day. Alternatively, some seed savers remove the entire plant when most of the pods are ready for harvest, and hang it upside down to dry in a protected location. Shake these lettuce seeds from the pods or crush the pods in your hands. The seed will have white “feathers” on them that can be removed by rubbing the seed on a fine mesh screen. Store lettuce seeds in a cool, dry place for 2-3 years.
