Seeds carried over usually aren't stored under the best temperature and humidity. High temperature and humidity usually cause a loss of germination and vigor in the new plant. Don't collect and save seeds from hybrid varieties for future use. The crop from hybrid varieties may result in a yield reduction compared to new seeds of that hybrid. Plants from saved hybrid seeds could produce a variation of plant types, either sim ilar to or completely different to the parent plants.
Some seeds can carry disease.
The treatment of seeds to prevent diseases may require controlled conditions. It's usually best to let the seed companies do the treatment. Always check with the person who took your order so that you don't buy seeds that haven't been treated for specific diseases. The month of February is a special time when we share our love with those who are close to us. But while we're remembering spouses and sweethearts, don't forget children.
