Chapter 4 is a must listen!

Harvesting seeds like a pro was a game changer chapter for me as it's something I had been struggling with on and off attempts with my seed game in the past. The audio was well narrated, followed a good logical flow and presented information with an easy to implement guide and the results are already awesome. Chapter 6 is a game changer for anyone wanting to harvest seeds and it's a must listen!

The author does a great job walking you through the recommendations. I cannot wait until next season to finally have a great garden.

A new option for my garden

I've been gardening for years and maintain both a vegetable garden and an herb garden. However, I always start my garden using seedling plants that I purchase at a local nursery. I haven't ever tried growing my own seedlings prior to planting them in my garden. And I have never tried harvesting my own seeds. But, clearly seeds have been harvested successfully for centuries. So, when I had the opportunity to get this audiobook from a colleague, I was thrilled to learn all about how to be more self-sufficient next season when I will start my garden using seeds, and then of course I will use what I've learned to harvest my own seeds for future years. I can't wait to create my own heirlooms.
