The original edition of Seeds: The Definitive Guide to Growing, History & Lore was published by The Macmillan Company in 1995, meant as a kind of companion volume to The Evening Garden but before the seed book was actually distributed, the grand and glorious Macmillan name passed into dust and all the books were forgotten somewhere in the Midwest. Luckily, Timber Press jumped into the fray and a new edition of the book is scheduled for publication in March of this year. From grains of rice and wheat to corn kernels and coconuts, seeds provide the majority of the world's food supply and on a more humble level, every garden and gardener depends on seeds to provide beauty and nourishment.
