Really looking forward to reading and learning from this book. arrived promptly, well packaged and in new condition
I'm doing a seed saving course and this is the recommended book. You hear people all over the place mention it. While it's not seed harvest time yet for this season, I have read the book with interest and feel better informed. It helps you plan what to plant and how many plants to grow and how to plan for harvesting and saving the seed. It's obvious Sue Stickland has many years' experience and she writes in a clear, informative and interesting way.
A must book for anyone thinking of saving seed that explains simply the requirements to save and store your own seed with an emphasis on heritage seed.
It is not a comprehensive guide to all plants but rather covers the main vegetables to be found growing in a garden or allotment within the UK.
