#117 - Saving & Processing Celosia Seed with Emily Nekl

Seed Talk with Lisa & Layne

In honor of Thanksgiving Day in the United States, Lisa and Layne spotlight something they are thankful for - all the hardworking growers of the world who produce the seed that allows us to grow so many wonderful plants at home and on our farms. In this excerpt from episode 17 ('Seed Production & Saving Celosia Seed with Emily Nekl'), Dr. Emily Nekl of Fuggles Flowers joins Lisa and Layne to discuss her experiences growing 'Texas Plumes' celosia for seed production, providing valuable tips and tricks for harvesting, drying, and cleaning the seed. Listen to the podcast and learn how to harvest and process the seed from your celosia plumes. For those celebrating Thanksgiving today, we wish you a safe and happy holiday with family and friends!

The video version of Lisa, Layne, and Emily's conversation will be posted to The Gardener’s Workshop’s YouTube channel, where all “Seed Talk” episodes are organized into a playlist.
