Another one for the books! 🏆 We're chuffed to share that we have won The Environmental Award at the BBC Cambridgeshire Make a Difference Awards last night!

It was genuinely a great night sat among so many incredible individuals and groups doing meaningful work across our community. Thank you, BBC Radio Cambridgeshire for the recognition, and for everyone on and behind the scenes of Project Abundance that make this happen.... here's to keeping this work growing! 🌱🥂

🍅 Don't let your best tomato disappear at the end of the season! And if you want the full guide (plus dozens more like it), comment TOMATO and we'll let you know how to get it. 🍅

Saving your own seeds is one of the simplest ways to build a more resilient, self-sufficient life, and it's how we keep our heritage varieties going, year after year, at Project Abundance.

Here's how:

🫙 Scoop & Soak — Squish the seed pulp into a jar with a splash of water (keep the flesh for eating!).

🦠 Ferment — Cover with a muslin cloth and stir daily for 4–5 days. This breaks down the natural coating that stops the seed germinating too early.

💧 Rinse & Dry — Wash the seeds thoroughly, then spread them on a paper towel to dry completely.

📦 Store — Keep them in a labelled paper envelope, somewhere cool and dark.

🌱 When to Sow — Sow indoors or in a warm greenhouse in March for strong spring seedlings.

📌 Save this post so it's ready when your late-summer harvest comes in — and if you want the full guide (plus dozens more like it), comment TOMATO and we'll let you know how to get it. 🍅

How hot are your chillies this September? 🔥🌶️ They say chillies love a heatwave because the higher the temps, the more fiery the chilli gets. So as you can imagine, our harvest is still bringing some serious heat this year!

Food scarcity is a myth 🚨 Just 4 beetroot plants produced thousands of seeds in this bag. Thousands of potential future meals born from a single small plot.

We’re conditioned to believe that food is scarce and that we’re completely dependent on complex, industrial supply chains just to eat. But nature’s default setting is wild, unstoppable abundance.

Resurfacing this conversation with the Inspire 2 Ignite CIC crew, because discussing food scarcity versus resilience has never been more relevant. When a community learns how to save seeds, food security stops being something you buy at a supermarket and becomes something you own.

Seed saving is pure self-reliance. 🌱🔥

What’s one crop you’re going to try saving seeds from this season? Let us know below 👇
