Basic Seed Saving Book

A short, plain guide to saving your own seed, written by Bill McDorman. It covers the basics every home gardener needs: which plants are easiest to start with, how to tell when seed is ripe, and how to harvest, clean, dry and store it so it grows well next season.

It also explains pollination in simple terms, so you know which crops stay true to type and which ones need a little distance from their neighbors. A good first book if you have never saved seed before, and a handy reference to keep with your garden supplies.
