Seed to Seed is a complete seed-saving guide that describes specific techniques for saving the seeds of 160 different vegetables. This book contains detailed information about each vegetable, including its botanical classification, flower structure and means of pollination, required population size, isolation distance, techniques for caging or hand-pollination, and also the proper methods for harvesting, drying, cleaning, and storing the seeds. Seed to Seed is widely acknowledged as the best guide available for home gardeners to learn effective ways to produce and store seeds on a small scale. The author has grown seed crops of every vegetable featured in the book, and has thoroughly researched and tested all of the techniques she recommends for the home garden. This newly updated and greatly expanded Second Edition includes additional information about how to start each vegetable from seed, which has turned the book into a complete growing guide.

What Customers Say About Seed to Seed: Seed Saving and Growing Techniques for Vegetable Gardeners:

I just purchased this book and in thumbing through it I was stunned by the breadth and depth of the material. A perfect companion for long winter evenings and garden dreaming.
I grow organic and heirloom plant and this year I decided to learn about seed saving.People have saved and traded their seeds forever but so many of us have gotten used to buying packing, I didn't realize that I don't have to do that for plants I'm already growing. I have been growing herbs and vegetables for years. Each year I learn a little more and my garden gets a little bigger. Plus, when you save your best seeds you're actually improving your seeds for your own growing area.This wonderful book will tell you everything you need to know about saving and keeping your own seeds. She has sections for every type of plant and gives you detailed information on how to save them.You'll save money and your seeds will grow better too.
"Seed to Seed" is the best book to pick up and read if you want to learn how to CORRECTLY save seed for future crops. It has become our Seed Saving Group's bible when teaching others and for personal use. GREAT--JUST THE BEST THERE IS. Highly recommend this to anyone who wants to start their own seed bank.
For anyone learning to save their own seeds to become more self sufficient or to keep heirloom variety seeds, this book has everything you need to know.
There are lots of pictures and plenty more descriptions and explanations. This book is great for someone who knows nothing or very little of heirloom gardening. I could not reccomend this book strongly enough. It is very precise, and a little repetitive(but in a good, reinforcing way). You can look up any particular plant by alphabetical order or just read it straight through. I was not completely ignorant of gardening, but have learned so much about record keeping, to seed saving, and even that potato plants produce a small seed pod fruit, filled with seeds that may each grow a different variety of potato. This book is written in an encyclopedic format, so it is direct and straight to the point.
