The Oregon MG s chose Follow the Oregon Trail to Great Gardening as their conference theme. A one-hour Powerpoint presentation was given by the Murphy s at the fall MG potluck, October 15, covering the highlights of conference classes and keynote speakers, including visits to Deschutes County Extension Office and Demo Gardens, Douglas County Master Gardeners Discovery Gardens, local community gardens, a Farm to Table (Skyline Farms & Meriwether s Restaurant) operation located 12 miles apart; owned & operated by the same couple, a hops farm, a vineyard, and olive mill.

3 Seed Saving and Storage By Linda Schreiber If you ve ever thought about seed storage, there s no time like the present. Saving seeds allows you to preserve a plant s legacy. Some of us are fortunate to have heirloom seeds passed from generation to generation. But if you re not someone in the heritage seed saving category, there are a few simple steps to follow to get started.!. Select the right plants go for open pollinated, non-hybrid varieties or heirlooms. Avoiding hybrids is necessary because they tend to cross pollinate with other varieties, as a result they won t maintain their original characteristics. 2. If you re new to seed saving and aren t sure what to save first the gateway plants are tomatoes, followed by peppers, peas and beans. And don t be afraid to try saving watermelon, cantaloupe and cucumbers. 3. Focus on saving seeds from your best-tasting crops. Be very picky. Multnomah Falls Tomatoes: Scoop out juicy insides of a fully-ripened tomato and put the seeds in a jar with a little water. Stir the mixture daily. After a few days, the good seeds will sink to the bottom save those and discard the rest. Rinse the seeds and spread them out to dry thoroughly. Peppers: Allow a few peppers to stay on the plant until they are ripe and starting to wrinkle. Cut each pepper in half and remove the seeds. Separate the seeds and dry completely. Beans and peas: Leave pods on the plant to ripen until they are dry and turning brown. The seeds will rattle inside the dried pods. Remove the pods from the plant and spread out to dry for at least two weeks before removing the seeds. Carolyn Murphy, MG Traveler October Mystery Plant Identification Winners! Last month s mystery plant was submitted by LaVon Yeggy The persons who submitted the correct answer were Jane Zukin, Carolyn Murphy, and Ramona McGurk who identified the mystery plant as the herb Pond Lily. Jane Zukin shared the botanical name, tricyrtis, with us. Ramona Mercer says she has many of these lilies in her garden, and they flourish in partial sun. CONGRATULATIONS, Jane, Carolyn and Ramona Store Seeds: Make sure to dry seeds completely. Glass jars are the best containers especially when stored in a root cellar or a cool, dry basement. Refrigerators are fine, but only for short-term storage. Label each container with the date the seeds were collected. Oregon State University Extension says seeds will last quite a while depending on humidity. Seeds are best stored through the winter at 50 degrees, at 50 percent humidity. Unused seed packets should be stored in sealed jars with a desiccant such as powdered milk or rice in the bottom (to absorb moisture). Store the seed jar in a cool area like a basement or in a refrigerator. Generally, seeds with a higher oil content will decline more quickly. If you keep your seeds dry and cool, you can expect many of them to last longer than the time periods indicated below. Parsnips, spinach, lettuce and alliums have the shortest seed life. Minimum seed life for common homegrown vegetables and flowers are listed below and they reflect no special care taken: October Mystery Plant Pond Lily 3

These articles can be seasonal, something of special interest to you or a topic of interest to MGs. You might want to write an article related to a MG project you worked on or a topic you would like to learn more about. If possible, include a photo or two (jpg with at least 100 dpi sent as separate files) related to your article. The newsletter is published 10 times a year (there are no issues in January and August) and is distributed via or USPS for those who prefer a hard copy. Each issue is about 7-8 pages in length and includes a variety of regular features such as announcements of upcoming MG events and meetings, special events of interest to MGs, a monthly birthday list, and a list of committee chairmen and volunteer opportunities. If you are interested, please let me know. If you have an idea for an article or need help in putting an article together, contact me and we can discuss the topic and format.
