Make sure you use the right seed!

One of the fastest growing hobbies in the US is gardening. However,
the vast majority of gardeners utilize hybrid seed to plant in
their gardens. "SO WHAT," YOU SAY?
Most of the world's staple crops are a "monocultural genetic
stock." That is, the genetic base for these seeds has become
very limited through selective breeding for specific advantages.
In this process, much of the natural genetic protection inherent
in the variety which was once used, is lost. This makes the entire
country-wide crop susceptible to drought or disease and insect
infestation.
It is just a matter of time before such an event occurs in this
and other countries. Once this happens, (and we HAVE seen this
already happen in isolated areas) there will be little reserve,
and NOTHING to fall back on . . .
UNLESS . . .
you have taken the precautions of placing yourself in the position
of being able to supply your own food and sustainable seed supply.
Consider:
- Hybrid seeds are good for one generation of plants. This means
that, in MOST cases, the seed from THESE seeds, can't be used
the next year by you to plant MORE plants.
- This makes you dependent on an outside source for your garden
seed, and costs money every year to replace.
- The genetic stock which is supplied by hybrid seeds is quite
limited, which means that most gardeners miss out on a huge
variety of flavors, types of vegetables AND the genetic protection
inherent in open-pollinated seed stock.
- Many hybrids are less nutritious, less resistant to drought
and insects, and more dependent on chemicals to support their
growth.

You NEED Open-pollinated, organic vegetable seed stock for your
garden. These seeds are NOT hybrid, and offer you a vast variety
of NEW flavors and OLD SPECIES, AND assure that healthy genetic
varieties get passed around before they disappear, AS THEY ARE
DOING BY THE DAY!
Take the time to look into this subject more carefully, and realize
the situation most western nations are in, as we speak. It doesn't
take a genius to realize how dependent our society is on outside
support. What are YOU doing to plan for an emergency???
