A Go-to Gardener's Guide To Saving Seeds Successfully In recent times, several gardeners have taken an interest in saving seeds from their plants; however, the process of saving seeds can be scary, but yet simple. Seed saving takes some time and effort, but it is well worth it for gardeners, irrespective of the level of experience. Once you've found a variety that suits you, saving seeds from it will enable you to repeat your success time after time. Why? Because plants are much more sensitive than you might think to the growing conditions distinct to each garden. What works well in your garden may not work in your neighbor's. There are other factors at play, including your specific microclimate, the microbiological health of your garden soil, and chemical or other harmful exposure. Other factors are the minimum distance between plants of similar species, which is important so that cross-pollination does not take place with another variety, as well as the minimum number of plants that need to be grown to conserve the innate genetic diversity. It's also important to identify the characteristics of the variety so that when grown, plants not breeding "true" are not picked. It is also important to adhere to effective seed storage procedures to keep the seed viable. We can go on and on about how well informed you need to be before you start saving seeds, but we can't; hence the reason why this book, Saving Seeds Handbook, was written, to provide you with virtually all you need to save seeds successfully. Here are a couple of what you will learn in this book; 1. In-depth details about seeds; definition, types, anatomy, seed formation, seed terminologies, etc. 2. Planning for Seed production; choosing seeds to save, seed lifecycle, planning the population size, isolation of varieties, hand pollination, etc. 3.

Do you know saving seeds from your garden is a perfect way of saving money and preserving heirloom varieties? Saving seed is the backbone of gardening! Saving seeds is a way to generate free food. You could grow a free lunch by keeping and growing your seeds.I remember reading a book as a child that told a story of a seed that wanted to live forever; that wanted to be perpetual! After restless search and failed attempts, it finally realized that to live on, it had to die as a seed and be buried on the ground for a new plant and seed to grow. It will help if you keep planting to save seeds.Seeds aren't the most expensive purchase in the world, but they can add up fast if you've got a large garden. Saving at least a few of your favorite varieties can save you some cash each year. Plus, you might find a seed swap where you can trade for a few other varieties as well. When you save your own seed, you know you will have it when you want it. I always encourage people to plan their gardens carefully in the winter and order all the seeds they need then, so there are no delays when it is time to plant. We are pacified into a false sense of confidence when we can pick up the phone and place an order, or order online, and within a week, the seeds show up in our mailbox. Nevertheless, things can happen. As a business grower, I was looking to increase my fall offerings to the eateries I sold to and decided purchasing seeds would be good, although I had never grown them before. I checked the calendar, and I had just enough time to get a crop for fall sales if I planted it in the next week. For some reason, the seed companies I dealt with on the East coast were out of seeds, which was surprising. So, I ordered the seeds from another region. Remember, I live in an area where territorial seeds had always been prompt, so things would work out, or so I thought. That was the year that the UPS workers went on strike. My seeds were sent out and then sat in a UPS warehouse between here and there. They arrived three weeks later, too late for my plans; that's when I decided I must start saving my seeds!In the book, "The Ultimate Seed Saving Handbook for Beginners," I have explained the step by step method of:*10 powerful Reason why you should save Seeds*3 Steps to Store and Keep Seeds Fresh for Up to 5 Years*How to save tomato Seeds*How to Save Cucumber Seeds*How to Save Lettuce Seeds*How to Save Bean Seeds (Bush beans, green beans, and bean seeds). *How to Save Corn Seeds*How to Save Onion SeedsClick the link below to Order your COPY!
