Bentworth Seed Lending Library July Seminar
By Alice Harris

The July 17 Bentworth Seed Lending Library seminar featured "Eat Your Weeds" by instructor Kama Lee. In the possibility that no other food may be available or for on location nutrition anytime, you really can eat the weeds and plants from your yard!

Seed Lending Library Attendees
In recipes using produce from the garden, Diana Blair made a spectacular "apple" pie using her fresh zucchini, Kama Lee served sumac lemonade, and Autumn Harris prepared a wonderful fresh salsa using her fresh organic garden vegetables, basil pesto pasta with dried tomatoes, and fresh dilled cucumbers. Members also learned how to start harvesting and storing open pollinated seeds for next season, and how to dry garden produce for compact storage. Members of Bentworth Seed Lending Library enjoyed a wonderful evening learning how to eat for free from the weeds in their yards and also enjoying fresh entrees prepared from member's gardens produce.
