A little bit goes a long way. Yes indeed. A little bit of seed saving. If I saved the 200 or 300 seeds in this squash, and I carefully store them. I could put them in the freezer. I would share them with my friends. I could sub divide them. And then everyone I gave seeds to, they too can plant them out and propagate them. It's really the gift that keeps giving. And, so just keep in mind, that we're not working in isolation. The seed saving network is really a collaborative effort. Even if we don't know all the names of the various growers. And people from countries all over the world who helped us get these beautiful varieties and help preserve the genetics. That's so special and so valuable to sustainable agriculture.
