Don Tipping of Siskiyou Seeds explaining to a group attending a weekend class on seed saving how he selects dahlias. He finds a characteristic he likes, in this instance, a frizzy orange mop of a flower, and removes those farthest from that ideal in the first trial, getting more and more selective with each trial. He yanked half a dozen “perfectly good” pinkish dahlias clean out of the ground while in this field. #permaculture. #gardening
