Seeds

"From the practical concerns of seed raisers and collectors, to the ancient lore, history, and biology of seeds, Peter Loewer has written a remarkable book for anyone interested in the life of plants and the planet. With a focus on the concerns of gardeners, he provides detailed advice on buying, storing and germinating, sterilizing soil, indoor to outdoor transplanting - even building cold frames. Blending science and hands-on experience, Seeds is the rare gardening book that is as useful as it is fascinating to read."--Jacket.
