A couple of things one should know before savings one's own seed: Make sure the seed you save is from an "OP" or open pollinated variety as seed from a hybnrid will not be true ti type. We state on all our varieties whether they are hybrids or OPs. The second thing is to determine whether or not the plants may have cross polinated or not. Some plants like peppers will cross pollinate but not as easily as squash or cucumbers. Cross pollinated fruits seldom produce true to type fruit if the seed is saved. It is best to grow one type of fruit in the garden to insure cross pollination doesn't occur. <BR/>We used to offer a booklet" Growing Garden Seeds"; I'm sure we could find a copy if you wanted one. It describes the ins and outs of saving ones own seed.Brian, Farm Managerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14018376336843046116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-687517259139577562.post-87895993961782526792008-11-06T16:02:00.000-05:002008-11-06T16:02:00.000-05:00hi, i am a home gardener, interested in seed savi...hi, i am a home gardener, interested in seed saving. is there any way to tell which if any of your seeds are good candidates for seed saving?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
