How can I get my own seeds from your seeds?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : VictorySeeds.com : One Thread

Is it possible to get the next generation seeds from your seeds I bought? My friend told me the next generation seeds will not grow at all. Is it true? Thanks

Hello Sarah,

All of the seed varities that we sell are open-pollinated and therefore have the potential for coming back true-to-type from seed saved. Your friend is probably thinking of modern hybrids, which by design and intent, do not geneally grow back true.

As far as how to save seed, we have some basic information on the site at:

I would also highly recommend getting a copy of the book entitled, "Seed to Seed" by Suzanne Ashworth. Here is a link:

I hope that this helps,

Mike
