Seed gathering season is 23rd September - 23 October. The autumn equinox is the beginning of the autumn season and growers are encouraged to help support biodiversity and natural conservation by gathering seeds from plants and trees to aide preservation of reforestation and local, native flora and plant species; to help maintain healthy eco-systems.
As growers, we know that seed saving can be economical as well as more environmentally friendly. Naturally, crops will bolt and 'go to seed' and regrow the following season unless we intervene by dead-heading and pruning to prevent this happening.
