BREEDING NEW PLANTS AND FLOWERS by Charles Webb

Honestly, I don't know how far I will get with all of this, though I have successfully bred irises it was more just to see if I could do it. I did not produce anything worth introducing, but they were pretty,

Now, due to advancing years, I am not sure how much more I will be able to do. I am hoping to grow a productive vegetable garden this year and keep the weeds out of the landscaped areas and the flower beds.🌼
