Synopsis
A keen home plant breeder himself, expert horticulturalist Joseph Tychonievich has crafted a friendly and accessible book which seeks to guide aspiring amateurs through the basic scientific techniques of home plant breeding, in a practical way. His lively and enthusiastic approach to informing readers with different levels of gardening experience on how to breed their own heirloom produce comes from his recognition of the skill and creativity of many home gardeners in this area. He understands that some of the best heirloom plants have been brought to life by ordinary gardeners who selected the most tough, reliable or colourful varieties in their own gardens; now Tychonievich wants to arm his readers with the right tools and knowledge to do the same and achieve excellent results.

From the Back Cover
It’s the holy grail of gardening: a plant that perfectly matches your tastes and the conditions in your garden. The hitch is, you’re not likely to find it at your local nursery or garden center. You’re going to have to create it yourself. But don’t worry—it isn’t hard. After all, gardeners have been doing it for centuries, simply by saving seed of the varieties that tasted or performed best. But you’ll get even better results by following the advice in Plant Breeding for the Home Gardener. You’ll learn how to set achievable goals in your breeding program; the ins and outs of genetics (in non-technical language!); how to pick the best parent plants; how to cross-pollinate; the best techniques to use for popular vegetables and flowers; and how to harvest and store seed. In no time at all, you’ll be producing a tastier tomato, a perkier pepper, or a more ravishing rose!
