I must say first that I am a new Gardner, and I started gardening to help save my family money. I love it very much, and am constantly looking for resources that will help me be better. This is such a resource. The book, while a quick and easy read, is packed full of information. In this book, you will learn all you need to about a seeds "life". Also, you will receive valuable information on collecting seeds from foods (instead of dry seed packs)! I truly appreciate the step by step guide! I am so thankful to have a wonderful resource that I understand. I will keep it handy so I can look back on it.
