Save Your Own Seed
Breed Your Own Vegetables,
Flowers, and Fruits
by Carol Deppe (geneticist, gardener)

Each of us who saves garden seeds is a plant breeder, whether we intended to be or not. Many seed savers are poor plant breeders simply because they don't know enough about what they're doing. Carol's book provides down to earth, easy to understand guidance that enables all home gardeners to become top notch seed savers and plant breeders. Nature has laws and guidelines for seed production and ignorance is not bliss. Even those of us with considerable knowledge and experience have found Carol's book a useful reference; it's packed with well organized and easy to read information about developing open-pollinated seeds.
