    On the seed saving episode, perhaps you could comment during part 2 about how and if it’s possible for small urban gardens to save seeds given recommendations about saving from multiple plants. Maybe this explains why some of my tomato’s saved have not done well when regrown. E.g. seeds from one tomato plant vs 3-4. Is there anything To selecting only the largest seeds with tomatoes? One thing I regret a little is when buying seeds how little we can know about the specific region or latitude the selection was done at. Thanks for you time with this important topic.
