I am tired of buying seeds from shops. My main goal with gardening was to
get away from the evil that is "money", yet all gardening projects seem to
begin with buying seeds and bulbs.

I have managed to grow potatos and garlics from previous years' crops, and
would like to continue this trend with other species. I will be trying some
courgette seeds I saved from a marrow last year, but am interested in other
plants, like onions, carrots, etc.

The problem? Most books give absolutely no information about this. Onions,
for example - I have found very good advice on growing them from seed to
edible vegetable, but nothing beyond that.

In fact, most books I have seem to think that a vegetable is useless once
it has gone "to seed" (which is never exlpained).

So - My question is: how (and when, and how much, etc) do I save the seeds
from one year to the next of the major species?
