Fall is almost over in Nevada. Snow is covering the Sierra’s and the end of the internship is drawing near. But there is still seed to be had! Seed collecting has taken a backseat throughout much of the year. Shifting office priorities and the furlough slowed us down significantly. But over the past month we have been able to find time and make some really good collections. Many species collection windows have closed but out in the desert the chenopods are ripe for the picking. Reaching the 10,000 seed minimum is easy when you can get 500 Atriplex torreyi seeds in one grab. There is something very satisfying about collecting Atriplex seeds. I can’t quite describe it but I’m sure some of you fellow seed collectors can relate. Anyway, I guess will finish up with some pictures.
