Do we use our seeds from last year's plants?

Each year seeds from last years plants are given a germination test to see if they are good for this year.  In the case of the lettuce pictured to the left, the seeds are planted and if 40% of the seeds sprout then those seeds are used for planting.  Interestingly, in the case of corn, H.G. will not use the seeds unless 90% of them sprout! 
Mmmmmm, can't you just taste that sweet delicious corn?



Here is this week's growth for our tomatoes...Growing up beautifully!
