I make it a point to save seeds from the previous year's crop. I avoid planting sterile hybrid varieties. I try to keep similar crops from miscegenating and producing squnkumbers (difficult, if one also keeps bees.) I have several LARGE ammo cans full of seed packets and a sack of drying agent (silica gel). I try to save the BEST plants or fruits - ears of corn, whatever - for seed. Go ahead, Burpee et. al. - Start a seed shortage. I'll salute you - with my middle finger.
