Welcome to Modern Agriculture!
If you have a hobby farm, chances are good that you also have a small garden on one part of your land. Gardening is not only a great way to relax while on your hobby farm, but your family will also have its own source of fresh vegetables and fruits you can enjoy all throughout the year.
As the number of families growing their own crops continues to rise, there has also been an increase in the number of people who collect their own seeds for use in the future. Home gardeners who save their seeds know what they will be growing in the future as they will already have experience.
The basic concept of saving seeds is that someone allows the plant to grow to full maturity, until it is ripe, and then harvesting and saving the seeds for use in the future. It is important to keep in mind that you only want to collect seeds from plants that are healthy, as you don't want diseases spreading in your garden in the future.
