    I should have added this to my original post… the book has a website with lists for all of the various climates and tells you what you can grow.  I think you can just look at the list and do your own research for more details if you’re looking to save some money.   http://perennialvegetables.org/ [...]

    I just ordered a new book “Seed To Seed” and can’t hardly wait for it to arrive. I should have ordered it this Spring and it would have help me save some of the seeds from this year’s garden.

      It’s a great book. It not only tells how to save different seeds but also gives information on which varieties you can grow together without cross pollinating.

      Seed to Seed is a really great book. I ordered it several years ago. My son has been reading it here lately.

    this year was the first year growing some heirloom plants. I’ve harvested my spinach seeds for next year. I just have to remember to save beans and not can them all. LOL. I also have beets and lettuce growing. How do I collect those seeds?
