Filled with advice for the home gardener and the more seasoned horticulturist alike, The Seed Garden: The Art and Practice of Seed Saving provides straightforward instruction on collecting seed that is true-to-type and ready for sowing in next year's garden. In this comprehensive book, Seed Savers Exchange, one of the foremost American authorities on the subject, and the Organic Seed Alliance bring together decades of knowledge to demystify the time-honored tradition of saving the seed of more than seventy-five coveted vegetable and herb crops--from heirloom tomatoes and long-favored varieties of beans, lettuces, and cabbages to centuries-old varieties of peppers and grains.

With clear instructions, lush photographs, and easy-to-comprehend profiles on individual vegetable crops, this book not only teaches us how to go about conserving these important varieties for future generations and for planting out in next year's garden, it also provides a deeper understanding of the importance of saving these genetically valuable varieties of vegetables that have evolved over the centuries through careful selection by farmers and home gardeners.

Through simple lessons and master classes on crop selection, pollination, roguing, and the processes of harvesting and storing seeds, this book ensures that these time-honored traditions can continue. Many of these vegetable varieties are treasured for traits that are singular to their strain, whether that is a resistance to disease, an ability to grow well in a region for which that crop is not typically well suited, resistance to early bolting, or simply because it is a great-tasting variety. In an age of genetically modified crops and hybrid seed, a growing appreciation for saving seeds of these time-tested, open-pollinated cultivars has found a new audience from home vegetable gardeners and cooks to restaurant chefs and local farmers.

Whether interested in simply saving seeds for home use or working to conserve rare varieties of beloved squashes and tomatoes, this book provides a deeper understanding of the art, the science, and the joy of saving seeds.

Light weight with a pleasant smell--fresh
I like this product. It smells pleasant, I don't break-out and it smooths my face all day. I feel it does brighten my older skin, somewhat. Does not feel tight or heavy.

Go-to moisturizer for years
I always come back to this moisturizer because of how lightweight and comfortable it feels on the skin while hydrating so nicely. Also leaves a super natural looking glowy finish. Works well on top of serums and underneath makeup as well. Such a hidden gem!

An all-around great, light moisturizer
The scent is citrus-y but it is very, very light; it dissipates completely within minutes. I use this only in the daytime, on top of C E Ferulic. It leaves a slight dewiness, like a subtle nacre of a pearl, which I happen to like. It is not so shiny that it accentuates fine lines. I go outside with a mirror under the sun and assess how products affect the appearance of my skin texture, and this product passes. The bottle is just over 3 ounces, which is generous and enhances value. I put Biore Watery Essence SPF 50 over the Peaches, and they work extremely well together. They kind of bond to each other and the dewiness is still mild. I sweat a lot in the summer on my face, so I wonder how Peaches will perform. But I think it can't get any better for a truly lightweight, gentle moisturizer. Very pleased with this purchase.

Wonderful formula, questionable packaging?
Trying to find a moisturizer for my combination skin and so far so good! Very light weight and not sticky. Has a very light citrus smell but not bothersome. Will probably continue to purchase because my skin seems to respond well to this company’s products. I don't like that the product looks… empty or used upon opening my package. The tube just feels half empty… opened it and there’s a seal so I guess it wasn’t used. Just wish they filled the tube or something.
