It was they who made me realise that, anytime we&#39;re saving seed, we&#39;re also, inadvertantly or otherwise, breeding for local adaptation!<br /><br />BTW: Thanks for your Cheese series -- and keep them going, please! You&#39;ve inspired us to make the next leap, and we&#39;re presently enjoying the fruits of our first Labneh.

Also if you can factor in when the moon is in front of the constellations Gemini, Libra or Aquarius. Saturday 12th and 13th December are particularly good days for seed collection. Thanks for the reminder. I&#39;ll blog it with a link .Cosmichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04987354394330188020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958226361442378006.post-77715130122840632302009-12-02T00:32:08.458+11:002009-12-02T00:32:08.458+11:00Thank you for posting this.
