HEIRLOOM SEED BOOK

Because we emphasized getting our seeds last month, we are offering the book that our heirloom seed instructor recommended, Seed to Seed. It will guide you in caring for and preserving those little seeds that may be your families' food source! Knowledge is power...and this book is a great resource for getting started.


Seed to Seed (Second Edition) by Suzanne Ashworth Complete seed-saving guide that describes specific techniques for 160 vegetables, including botanical classifications, flower structure and pollination, population size, isolation distances, and techniques for caging, hand-pollination, harvesting, drying, cleaning and storage. This updated and greatly expanded Second Edition now includes how to start each vegetable from seed, which has turned the book into a complete growing guide. Expert gardeners from seven regions of the U.S. have shared their seed-starting techniques. An invaluable, comprehensive reference book for maintaining heirlooms and preserving our vegetable heritage. 80 black-and-white photos. Softcover, 320 pages. $22.00
