I wonder if it would be best to modify the title to include seed saving? The two things go together so closely maybe it's best to not separate them?
plant breeding and seed saving (too long)

It's never too late to start! I retired to homestead on the slopes of Mauna Loa, an active volcano. I relate snippets of my endeavor on my blog : www.kaufarmer.blogspot.com

I think what some are looking for in 'seed saving' is how to harvest, dry and store....not necessarily how to select.
Every time we choose to save seeds from one plant, or all, or just a few, this is an act of selection (even if it's just natural selection of what will survive in specific conditions) - this is plant breeding.
Seed saving, seed exchange, where to buy seeds, plant breeding, and propagation.
Look ma! I'm selling my stuff!
