Seeds at the Library

The seed bank at the library has grown. We have large quantities of: sprouting red clover, radish, kale, lettuce, zucchini, beet, peas, corn and bush beans.The seeds are all organic from West Coast Seeds, but are 10 years old, They do germinate, but at a rate of 35%- 50%, so you'll want to plant more of them to ensure you get a good crop.They should be used this year. There are enough clover and pea seeds to use as a ground cover (nitrogen fixing) if you want to amend your soil. Hoping to see them all put to good use.

Our gratitude goes to Maryanne Noad.

Ferry Webcam Issues

As no doubt many have noticed, the ferry webcam has gone dark on us. The problem seems to be connected to the switch between web hosts, or ever-growing security rules at servers, or... something. We are working on this and will get it back up a.s.a.p.

Thank you for your patience! And a thousand thanks to Sony Falardeau and Capernwray for their help and support of the webcam.
