Hi, it’s Hannah Johnson! I have a bachelor’s in Native American and
Indigenous Studies from the University of Minnesota Morris, and I am very
passionate about Indigenous food sovereignty, especially concerning seeds!
I’ve
been lucky enough to work on a draft document that will one day be a guide for
new gardeners to plant Indigenous seeds. There’s a lot to learn, and I’m happy
to be involved!
One thing that’s really cool about the Indigenous seed guide is that I get
to learn about what cycle of the moon certain seeds should be planted in! I
didn’t even know that was a thing.
Apparently, the moon impacts the level of
moisture in the soil, and beets and other root vegetables should be planted at
a different time from your leafy greens like spinach. I had no idea!
