Seed Saving and Starting Resources

If you've always bought your tomato seedlings at the local mart, but this year or next you want to do something different, there are plenty of resources out there. A particularly good and pretty comprehensive one is The New Seed Starters Handbook By Nancy Bubel.  I checked it out from the library during the winter, and it was a very worthwhile read. An illustration-free PDF version is available somewhere online, but the book is in print, so it may not be available in PDF anymore. I would highly recommend it, as it is pretty comprehensive in telling you how to start seeds indoors, what containers and soil to use, how to transplant, what works and what does not, how to save seeds, etc. I'm still referring to it as I save those radish and lettuce seeds.
