Seed Saving Tips & Techniques

This was a free kindle book when I wrote this post. Hopefully, Seed Saving Tips & Techniques, still is free. This is something that I want to learn how to do. I am going to have a bigger garden this season and want to be able to seed save!

Most keen gardeners decide at some stage that they want to save their own seed. Raising your own seedlings is extremely satisfying. I still find it so exciting and heart-warming when I grow beautiful, healthy plants from seed that I have collected myself. Watching a seed germinate, become a seedling, and then mature gives me such joy and deep satisfaction. It is witnessing and participating in the miracle of life!

In this book you'll learn:

It is great for earaches and you use it as an ear drop for the pain.
