Seed Saving Handbook — 12 Printable Pages

Every seed you save comes from a plant that already proved it can thrive in your soil, your weather, and your care — its children start ahead. This handbook starts with the easy wins (beans, peas, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, herbs), teaches the two processing paths — wet and dry — and covers drying, storing, labeling, and the ten-seed germination test that tells you the truth about every packet. Inside: why open-pollinated matters; self-pollinators vs. cross-pollinators; tomatoes (the ferment) and peppers step by step; beans, peas & lettuce the dry way; herbs & flowers; drying & storing rules with viability times; cut-out packet labels; isolation basics that fit a home garden; and a seed inventory log. Specs: 12 pages, US Letter (8.5x11) printable PDF, instant download, personal use, print at 100%.

Built for the fall harvest

October is seed-saving season up here in Upstate New York — the last tomatoes, peppers, beans and herbs are coming in before the hard freeze, and every packet you dry, label and store now is a plant you don't have to buy next spring. Work through this fall's harvest while it's still on the counter: ferment the tomato seeds, dry the beans and peas, and run the ten-seed germination test before you file a packet away, so spring-you knows exactly what will sprout.
