I'd like to try saving seed from several heirloom corn varieties this year with bagging and staggering the plantings to prevent cross-contaminations, but have not seen this done. I just read about the process of bagging and handpollinating in Seed to Seed.

Can anyone advise me about this further and tell me where to find the right type of bags?

Oh, I'm also trying the 3 sisters approach with a rattlesnake pole bean and black zuchini, planting closely in a 3 foot wide bed.

thanks,

Carrie
