Much of life on earth begins and ends with seeds. From the practical concerns of seed savers and collectors to the ancient lore, history, and biology of seeds, this is a must read for anyone interested in preserving seed biodiversity. Detailed advice on buying, storing and germinating, sterilizing soil, indoor to outdoor transplanting-even building cold frames, is included. Blending science and hands-on experience, Seeds is fascinating, practical, and useful.
Peter Loewer is the contributing editor to Carolina Gardener magazine.
