    Great book about saving seed and growing plants!

    I was really impressed with this book. There are many pictures, and the explanations are clear. My husband and I use heirloom seeds and wanted to branch out to different varieties. The book is well organized, and it is easy to find the plant you want to know about. I strongly recommend this book if you are interested in heirloom gardening.

    Seeds to sow

    Great book! I’m glad I got this. It’s so informative that I only need this one book to answer all my questions about saving seeds from my vegetable and herb garden. It’s very detailed in a step-by-step process on how to properly save and store seeds for future planting.
