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.

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?

Where did you find this book?
Amazon.com – it’s my favorite place to shop!
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.
