Seeds
Controlled seed work for Alaska growing.
Secret Garden seed notes follow parent plants, controlled pollination, germination, offspring color, and the purpose of each batch before it becomes something offered.
Controlled pollination
Seeds are tracked by parent, cross, and result.
A useful seed batch needs more than a name on a packet. Notes should show which plants were involved, how the cross was handled, what sprouted, and what traits showed up in the grow-out.

Alaska-purpose seed
Small batches need a reason to exist.
Seed lines are watched for useful traits in Eagle River Valley: short seasons, cool nights, greenhouse starts, container habits, flower color, plant form, vigor, and local growing purpose.
