From seed to seed<\/h2>\n
Produced by La Semence Bio<\/a> et issues d\u2019une agriculture paysanne fran\u00e7aise, les semences contenues dans notre collection BACSEEDS<\/a> sont reproductibles afin que vous puissiez les collecter, les cultiver et les partager \u00e0 l\u2019infini ! NB : certaines vari\u00e9t\u00e9s achet\u00e9es dans le commerce peuvent porter la mention F1 ; cela signifie qu\u2019elles ne sont pas reproductibles mais \u00e0 usage unique.<\/p>\n To obtain quality seeds, choose a healthy, vigorous, productive plant and pick ripe fruits with the shape and colour characteristics of the chosen variety. Taste them as well, to make a selection based on their gustative qualities. Seeds retain a memory of the conditions in which they were grown: for instance, discard plants that have suffered from disease or stress, or whose growth was affected by inadequate sun exposure.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fermentation consists of extracting the seed from its gelatinous envelope, the role of which is to protect and maintain the seed in a dormant state so that it does not germinate inside the fruit. The fungus responsible for this fermentation (<\/span>Geotrichum Candidum<\/i>) will destroy the gelatin and eliminate any germs present on the seed.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Once the seeds are completely dry, rub them between your palms to loosen them. Store them in paper sleeves, writing the name of the variety and the month and year of harvest. Note that tomato seeds have an <\/span>average germination period of four to six years and their germination rate declines from year to year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To preserve their germinative power, store them in a <\/span>cool, dry, dark placeat a constant temperature. The ideal temperature for storing seeds is around 4-5\u00b0C, so you can put them in the fridge or even the freezer. Be wary of storing them in a cellar, however, because although they have the advantage of being cool, the humidity level is very high.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Find them on our e-shop BACSAC.com<\/a> and at our parisian showroom.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Selecting the right fruit<\/h2>\n
