Fermenting Heirloom Seed

Fermentation and the utilization of yeast within the natural environment can improve the quality of several types of heirloom seeds. From tomatoes to cucumbers, fermentation of seeds after the harvest can improve germination rates, reduce seed borne illnesses, and improve shelf life for long term storage.
Join Erik Wochholz, Curator of Historic Landscapes at Strawbery Banke Museum, as he shares a unique method for improving viability and quality during the seed collection process. While there are many methods of collecting different seeds throughout garden landscapes, fermentation can be utilized on several different types of fruiting heirlooms, like tomatoes and melons, that can significantly improve the quality of your collected seeds emerging from your own gardens and landscapes.
