Selecting Your First Seed Crops

What seed will you harvest this summer from your market garden?

In episodes 1-3 of this miniseries, we've talked about some key considerations for growing seed. We've discussed open pollinated and hybrid varieties. Selfer and crosser crops. Annual and biennial plant life cycles. Now, let's look at what crops you're actually growing for market or CSA or wholesale and let's see which of those crops would be great first seed crops.

This is the 4th of 5 weekly mini-episodes all about the basics you need to know so you can plan your first seed crop for the coming growing season.

I would love to know how you like these mini-episodes. Send me a DM or an email to tell me what you think - is this a format you'd like me to repeat in the future?
