Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
My friend Brijette used to be a green interior designer, making beautiful living walls. Not anymore. Now she farms for seeds in her own backyard in San Diego, CA and sells them to local farmers, gardeners, and on the internet. She's one of, if not THE only certified organic local seed producer in the United States. Saving seeds and creating new varieties that are adapted to local microclimates is vital in our changing climate. I think you're going to see a lot more Brijettes in the future. and she's leading the way. In today's episode, I visit Brijette and we walk through the process of harvesting eggplants for seed, processing them, drying them, and grading them for quality. You'll learn how Brijette got started, but also super-interesting info about how the seeds you buy at the garden center actually get into those packets. We also talk a bit about heirloom seeds and how to save them

Gold mine she discovered how American dream is making lots of money the easy way we were doing that my grandfather without machine but by hand but the companies said that's other top quality no quality control, no germination test, no federal sta darts that's third world standards and many people believed those companies. my grand father can show thousand seeds and make 900 viable plant, the seed companies sell 10 seeds in a pocket for 2 $ and 9 viable plant wow companies 90% seed germination viability it's best quality why go for ten seeds when you can plant thousands and choose 900 most vigorous seedlings

Seems like we should all be doing this right now,
Im new to gardening but love it, hypothetical - my veg garden is all set up for the year, can I then leave 2 or 3 of each crop in to go to seed? Or will they all cross pollinate and mess up being in the same garden?

Very cool. I am obsessed with seeds. Very important in this day of keeping organic. Only other job I would love to be paid for would be collecting sea shells. I would be rich. Love S. D. Cali. Blessings Dee

Okay, this video is so awesome. It is difficult NOT to get knocked out of character a bit when a pretty girl says: You just want to be careful at the end not to. blow your load. Kevin's chuckle said it all.

Monsanto wants the patent on seeds ( if they don't already have it); then they sued farmers for using monsanto seeds that blew into nearby farmers fields, even thought the crop was the same.

People should never need to buy more then one pack of the same seeds. Always harvest seeds and clone to reproduce for free. A bonus is that you can share or sell. Plants are awesome!

reply

So how is keeping the B seed for your farm to replant for the following year keeping the quality of the seed bank? Shouldn't you hold some of the A seed back to replant?

I'll be visiting San Diego next week for the first time, Would I be able to visit this place? Also are there any permaculture places that you guys would recommend?

Harvesting seeds is quite a bit more involved than I thought. I happily lay down my money and support my local seed companies! Thanks for such a fun video!
