I am tired of buying seeds from shops.

sorry about that - I use so many different computers for my work, I'm
never certain of the settings. This one is set to 72, which I think is
the average. I'll check others as I use them.

seedsave.org is excellent. I haven't explored the whole site, and I'm
sure it's mentioned somewhere, but much seed-saving is dependent on
growing 'open pollinated' or 'heritage' varieties, Many veg are
hybrids which will not breed true. That is, you won't get the same
variety you saved seed from, but some combination of its ancestors.


it all seems a bit complex, but I'm sure understanding will come
