Saving Seeds: The Gardener's Guide to Growing and ... (ISBN 0882666347)

Saving Money:
It is hard to justify spending money on anything when you live in poverty, but I thought that this book may pay for itself. I was right. I have only had it for a few months, and already it has helped me to grow enough food to pay for itself. My plan is to completely stop buying seeds within 3 years, and if all of the points in this book work as good as the ones that I have already used I see no problem with sticking with that plan.

Great for vegetable gardeners:
I bought this book so I could start harvesting my own seeds for vegetable gardening. This is the exact reference I was looking for. Each veggie detailed with instructions for selecting, protecting from cross polination, harvesting and storing. Lots of info for flowers too, but flower seed harvesting is much more straight forward, so I think it is covered appropriately.

not so good:
The info it's very general. For the new gardener or seed saver many questions are left with no answer. Like the time to soak seeds on water. I ended up with more questions than answers at the end, glad did not pay full price.

happy gardener:
This book has many practicle ideas on how to save hierloom seeds from year to year. It is a little older but still has sound advice that is easy to read and understand. It will be priceless to the beginner or the master gardener in a short time.

I can't wait to apply these tips!:
I have been interested in saving seed since a child. I moved away to the city in my teens and am about to move back home. I am excited to save my own seed and feed my family with my science! Thank you.
