Gardening: Seeds of Life II
Now that you have collected your old-last year’s seeds we are going to test them to see if they will grow. This is what the big time growers do, and what we do, but on a smaller scale in the kitchen.
Gardening 2010: Seeds make money for you. Part I
Buying new seeds each year is very costly and perhaps not necessary if you have left over seed from last year, or even five years ago.
