"From saving and starting to transplanting and even winter sowing, lifelong gardeners Sheryl and Janet offer you all the know-how you need when it comes to seeds, ensuring they thrive and grow into beautiful mature plants. The pair answer your questions on things like determining viability; the difference between heirloom, heritage, and hybrid seed; the best containers and planting media to use; why and how to use grow lights; common problems such as damping off and overwatering; and how to harden off transplants and plant them out. In this Q&A-style resource Janet and Sheryl also give you the information you need to direct sow straight into the garden, and protect those seeds. Then they delve deeply into collecting and saving seed so that you can continue the cycle for future growing seasons on the prairies."--Back cover.
