Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties:
The Gardener's and Farmer's Guide to Plant Breeding and Seed Saving
by Carol Deppe.
2000, 384pp., $28
An authoritative and easy-to-understand guide to plantbreeding for the home gardener. Presents information essential to taking control of our food supply starting with seeds. Stabilize hybrids; domesticate wild plants; select for flavor, size shape, color, or hardiness. Explains all major breeding methods in clear language.

The Safe Seed Pledge: "Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, we pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately people and communities."

Using simple techniques and good design the author grows and eats abundant fresh food 12 months of the year in Maine. An excellent resource for cold climate gardeners, with crop profiles and a step-by-step illustration of methods.
