Sacaton Aboriginal

Sacaton Aboriginal Cotton

I am honored to grow cotton from previous generations (centuries) as supplied by Native Seeds Search. The seed received has had good germination percentage. Having grown up on a cotton farm, I knew some things about cotton cultivation, but this is meaningful in deeper ways. I don't have many plants growing this year, but enough to harvest the seed as a "citizen seed saver scientist." I plan to study the staple length, and to display some opened bolls this fall at the Farmers Market where I promote seed saving as well as educating children about where our food and clothing comes from. Presently, large bolls are formed, and I eagerly await the harvest.

I have not planted the Sacaton Aboriginal as of yet, but I have planted a few of the melons. And I am happy with the order I received. I plan on ordering more seeds for the future.

Growing well.

All the seeds germinated, which is always exciting. I realize that some I planted get too much shade as they are much smaller than the others. So in the future, full sun, it is!
