Garden seed saving tips for next year
The piece urges home gardeners to save seeds to offset high spring prices. Potatoes, beans and corn offer the best savings while other seeds like peas lettuce radishes tomatoes can be bought in small lots. Onion seed is not feasible this year since onions are biennial and must be saved next year. Some claim seed quality declines with reuse, but genealogy of a potato is not a factor.
Selecting Seed Potatoes to Improve Next Year’s Crop
The seed source should be hills with healthy, large potatoes free from scab and knots. Some potato diseases transmit through seed, so choosing seed from vigorous plants helps ward off issues. Patch findings in Pella show curled leaves and dwarfed growth from seed-borne disease, likely worsened by imported potatoes. Careful seed selection and spraying per agricultural experts can reduce problems and influence next year’s harvest success.
