Some don't and I share some difficulties I have experienced. What I look for is 1 a good size of harvest, 2 cropping over a long period where relevant, and 3 fine flavour. Even though much flavour is from the soil as well. I give advice on: 1 buying seed, some general pointers 2 saving seed where appropriate, different methods for every vegetable.
