Went to Dollar Tree and they have a display of American Seeds. Mostly vegetables and the package says non GMO. Anyone here knows anything about these?
I want one that grows gold and silver lolI want to grow a tree that has this sprouting on it.
You have inspired me to make a start on gardening skills. I hope I level-up in time, God forbid anything worse than 2020.they are allll OK - the packs at the $$$$ stores are just priced in regard to the lighter ounce contained - pay more at Wally World or the home improvement stores and get double the seeds .....
gardeners around here start their bedding plants the first of February - wouldn't be waiting to buy seeds this year until spring planting >>> different trouble this spring compared to last year's Virus - seeds are a smart insurance move ....
Squash seeds from the Dollar General did better than the seeds I saved from last years grow. My saved seeds grew nice plants that did not produce.
Hybrids don't have to be GMO to be infertile or to produce something very different than the plant the seed came from. People were crossing different plants (and animals) for thousands of years before there was such a thing as "Genetically Modified Organisms."
Same here slowly, need to keep some seeds for a minimum of 2 years before they will germinate at all, like watermelons. Wash, dry separately and store dry. Then, before planting, we put them in water, those which sink are good still and those floating are dried up or empty and get ditched.We save seeds yearly and keep seeds for 2-3 years , wash and dry , sometimes let them ferment in a jar , have had pretty good luck so far . I think it's all about the drying and storing in a cool place.
