Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Save seed from your own garden and grow it again next year, season after season, with a clear, illustrated guide written for complete beginners. This book takes you through the whole seed-saving cycle one short lesson at a time: choosing the right varieties, keeping them true, harvesting at the right moment, cleaning, drying, storing and testing your seed, and growing strong plants from it. Every lesson is explained in plain language with a drawing set right inside the lesson, and each part ends with key points and review questions. What is inside: - 76 lessons in 208 short sections- 182 drawn figures showing seeds, flowers, harvest stages, tools and methods- Seeds and plants: how seeds are made, life cycles, open-pollinated, heirloom and hybrid varieties, and plant families- Keeping varieties true: isolation by distance and time, bagging, caging, and hand-pollinating squash and corn- Planning a seed garden: what to save first, how many plants, selecting the best plants and keeping records- Harvesting and cleaning: dry and wet seeds, fermenting tomato seed, threshing, winnowing and screening- Drying and storing: dryness tests, containers and desiccants, refrigerator and freezer storage, and how long seeds last- Germination tests and growing out, plus a full part on growing plants from your own seed: sowing depth, light, thinning, hardening off and direct sowing- Crop guides for tomatoes, beans, peas, lettuce, peppers, squash, melons, corn, brassicas, carrots, beets, onions, herbs, flowers and native wildflowers- 10 step-by-step projects, from your first tomato seed to onions over two seasons- Problems and solutions: seed-borne disease, storage pests, off-types, humid climates and small spaces- Sharing seed: swaps, seed libraries, seed packets and a seed-saving calendar- 225 review questions with answers and explanations- Record sheets for your seed inventory, isolation plan, harvests, germination tests, hand-pollination and grow-outs- A crop reference table and a 40-term glossary Isolation distances, population sizes and seed storage lives are given as typical ranges compiled from published seed-saving guides; sources differ, and local conditions matter. Rules on selling or sharing seed vary by country and region. Ideal for home gardeners, allotment and community gardeners, homesteaders, school gardens, seed library volunteers and anyone who wants to grow their own seed. This item is printed on demand.
