Winner of the American Horticultural Society Award for Excellence In Garden Book PublishingWinner of the Silver Medal for Best Reference from the Garden Writers AssociationFilled with advice for the home gardener and the more seasoned horticulturist alike, The Seed Garden: The Art and Practice of Seed Saving provides straightforward instruction on collecting seed that is truetotype and ready for sowing in next years garden. In this comprehensive book, Seed Savers Exchange, one of the foremost American authorities on the subject, and the Organic Seed Alliance bring together decades of knowledge to demystify the timehonored tradition of saving the seed of more than seventyfive coveted vegetable and herb cropsfrom heirloom tomatoes and longfavored varieties of beans, lettuces, and cabbages to centuriesold varieties of peppers and grains.With clear instructions, lush photographs, and easytocomprehend profiles on individual vegetable crops, this book not only teaches us how to go about conserving these important varieties for future generations and for planting out in next years garden, it also provides a deeper understanding of the importance of saving these genetically valuable varieties of vegetables that have evolved over the centuries through careful selection by farmers and home gardeners.Through simple lessons and master classes on crop selection, pollination, roguing, and the processes of harvesting and storing seeds, this book ensures that these timehonored traditions can continue. Many of these vegetable varieties are treasured for traits that are singular to their strain, whether that is a resistance to disease, an ability to grow well in a region for which that crop is not typically well suited, resistance to early bolting, or simply because it is a greattasting variety. In an age of genetically modified crops and hybrid seed, a growing appreciation for saving seeds of these timetested, openpollinated cultivars has found a new audience from home vegetable gardeners and cooks to restaurant chefs and local farmers.Whether interested in simply saving seeds for home use or working to conserve rare varieties of beloved squashes and tomatoes, this book provides a deeper understanding of the art, the science, and the joy of saving seeds.
