back garden seed saving back garden seed saving
Sue Stickland

Sustainable gardening is not only about how you grow but also what you grow. The latest strains of runner beans may give you long stringless pods, but will they crop well on a cold, windswept site? Dwarf peas may be the easiest to grow commercially but you will still find the six foot types in many gardens because they look attractive, crop for longer and taste like peas used to taste. Whatever the benefits of modern hybrids, old varieties still have much to offer gardeners.

In this delightful and practical book top gardening writer Sue Stickland gives easy to follow crop-by-crop guidelines to help you save seed for yourself and varieties to look out for. It introduces you to some of the gardeners who grow such varieties, their tales and tips, and their infectious enthusiasm. 200pp
