Every seed you buy is a subscription — buy the packet once, and next year you're buying it again. This guide teaches the way out: let a plant finish its actual job, collect what it makes, dry it, and store it. Do that once and you own seed a store can't sell you back.
Vol. 19 of the Plot & Pantry series — the one guide that isn't tied to a single level. It's a skill, not a plant: practice on a Level 1 pea pod, a bolted Level 2 lettuce, or a Level 3 pepper left to ripen past eating. Setup costs about $10–$20, and a fast crop like peas or beans can be ready to harvest in as little as three weeks.
Inside the 31-page illustrated guide: the four-step process behind every real seed-saving job (finish, collect, dry, store), which crops give true seed and which won't grow true from hybrid stock, a built-in interactive Grow Journal, verified store links for every tool mentioned, troubleshooting for mold and rot, a printable cheat sheet, and honest FAQs grounded in university extension research.

Works with any plant in the series — the one skill that pays for itself the moment you use it twice. Grown by you, for you.
