Product Description
Product Description
Seed to Seed is a complete seed-saving guide that describes specific techniques for saving the seeds of 160 different vegetables. This book contains detailed information about each vegetable, including its botanical classification, flower structure and means of pollination, required population size, isolation distance, techniques for caging or hand-pollination, and also the proper methods for harvesting, drying, cleaning, and storing the seeds. Seed to Seed is widely acknowledged as the best guide available for home gardeners to learn effective ways to produce and store seeds on a small scale. The author has grown seed crops of every vegetable featured in the book, and has thoroughly researched and tested all of the techniques she recommends for the home garden. This newly updated and greatly expanded Second Edition includes additional information about how to start each vegetable from seed, which has turned the book into a complete growing guide. Local knowledge about seed starting techniques for each vegetable has been shared by expert gardeners from seven regions of the United States-Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast/Gulf Coast, Midwest, Southwest, Central West Coast, and Northwest.

seed to seed has a wonderful introduction including the advantages of saving seeds, some simple plant physiology and the basic seed saving techniques. in the rest of the book instructions are given for each plant individually and it does go into alot of detail. i had never saved seed before yet i found i could easily follow the directions. this book will serve me for many years as i try out differant vegatbles and methods and i feel it has been a great investment.

The book is very in depth & uses a lot of American terms/words.
A very good book for a very keen gardener, maybe too in depth for the amature gardener.

this excellent book gives infomation on how to save pure seed from just about any plant you could wish to grow (and probubly some you will never have heard of), published by the american seed saving sosciety, it is well written and laid out, possibly a little too abvaced for the absolute beginner but a good investemt nont the less.
written using some american veriety names eg. frnch beans called common beans, and with seasonal sowing information that is probubly relevent to america only. but none the less very well rounded and compiled.
highly recommended
