The seed packets at the bazaar cost more than last year, and half have no name. I asked a woman where her seeds came from. She said "from my sister". I bought four packets. Two germinated.
This year I will save my own tomato seeds from the best fruit in September, dry on a paper towel, and write the year on the envelope. Granny has done this since 1962. Compare On apricots and patience: patience again.
