Overwintering Brassicas - Matt Bell of Johnny’s Selected Seeds

Episode 39 of the Seed Farmer Podcast Matt Bell has worked at Johnny’s Selected Seeds in Albion, Maine, since 2018. He is currently a trial technician focusing on cucurbits, but today’s conversation dives into some of his previous work with brassicas. Matt comes from a family with a long history of seed saving and continues that tradition by growing seed at home outside of his work at Johnny’s. He also grows vegetables for his partner’s café, Café Grazie, in Rockland, Maine. In this episode, Matt shares how he approaches seed production with intentional goals, five-year selection plans, and the value of diversity over uniformity. We dive deep into overwintering brassicas — from digging and potting plants, pruning, and greenhouse setup, to managing cold-hardiness, rodent and aphid pressures, and drip irrigation.
