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 time-honored tradition of saving the seed of more than seventy-five coveted vegetable and herb crops—from heirloom tomatoes and long-favored varieties of beans, lettuces, and cabbages to centuries-old varieties of peppers and grains.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith clear instructions, lush photographs, and easy-to-comprehend 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 year’s 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough simple lessons and master classes on crop selection, pollination, roguing, and the processes of harvesting and storing seeds, this book ensures that these time-honored 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 great-tasting variety. In an age of genetically modified crops and hybrid seed, a growing appreciation for saving seeds of these time-tested, open-pollinated cultivars has found a new audience from home vegetable gardeners and cooks to restaurant chefs and local farmers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback, 350 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Annies Heirloom Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48491917902101,"sku":"A2387","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/0984\/4245\/files\/The-Seed-Garden--The-Art-and-Practice-of-Seed-Saving__44542.1664986036.1280.1280.jpg?v=1724264864"},{"product_id":"the-seed-underground","title":"The Seed Underground","description":"\u003cdiv data-node=\"5a7b55c00574e\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy Janisse Ray\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no despair in a seed.

Farmers and gardeners a century ago had five times the possibilities of what to plant than farmers and gardeners do today; we are losing untold numbers of plant varieties to genetically modified industrial monocultures.
