What this site covers
HomeHarvestDaily.eu is a reference resource on the topic of home seed storage and saving. The content focuses on three main stages of the process: drying harvested seeds correctly, labelling and organising a seed collection, and selecting appropriate storage containers and conditions.
The site is written with Polish growing conditions in mind. The climate, the common vegetable varieties in household gardens, and the typical storage conditions found in Polish homes — cellars, northern-facing rooms, refrigerators — are taken into account throughout the articles.
The site does not sell seeds or any products. It does not represent a commercial operation, seed bank or agricultural body. All content is informational.
What this site does not cover
The following topics are outside the scope of this site:
- Commercial seed production or trade
- Plant breeding or hybridisation techniques
- Regulatory or legal requirements for seed exchange in Poland or the EU (though links to relevant public bodies are provided where appropriate)
- Grow-your-own guides — the site begins at harvest, not planting
Content accuracy
Articles on this site draw on publicly available sources including publications from the Royal Horticultural Society (UK), Seed Savers Exchange (US), and published horticultural reference works. Where exact figures for germination rates or viability periods are cited, the source is noted. Where information is uncertain or variable, the text uses neutral formulations without specific figures.

Polish legal context for home seed saving
Home seed saving for personal use — collecting seeds from plants grown in a household garden and storing them for replanting in the same garden — is not subject to commercial seed regulation in Poland or the EU. The relevant framework (EU plant propagation material legislation) applies to seeds entering commercial trade, not to seeds kept and replanted by a household grower.
For information on heritage variety preservation and seed exchange in Poland, the COBORU variety register (coboru.gov.pl) is the relevant public authority.
