Keeping our vegetable heritage alive is important.  Sustainable gardening is not only about how you grow but also what you grow.

With this book you will find out about those vegetable varieties no longer found in seed catalogues, meet the gardeners who still grow them, their tales and useful tips.

Most importantly, the author provides easy to follow crop by crop guidelines to help you save seed for yourself and recommends varieties to look out for.
