Our grandparents did it.ÿ And their grandparents before them.ÿ In fact, saving seeds is as old as gardening itself.ÿ Why then is it such a neglected component of gardening today?ÿ Many say that because seeds from catologs are so cheap we don't need to save our own.ÿ Have you figured out lately what you spend on seeds each year to grow the same plant?ÿ (And doesn't it seem to be a little more each year?)ÿ Now multiply that figure by the number of years you expect to have a garden.ÿ Adds up, doesn't it?ÿ But even if it still doesn't seem like a lot, the bottom line is that it's money you just don't have to spend!ÿ Let Marc Rogers introduce you to the world of seed saving, where you will save money, strengthen your plant strains, and find a new appreciation and understanding of your garden.
