Got Seeds?

another year is upon us
take time to plan
the cold will soon be gone
and before you know it
it will be time
to plant
or for the non-growers
to order from your CSA




seed catalogs, Journal & packets of seeds

 
Seeds are really cheap, for all that they deliver.
But remember, a seed is not a seed.
There are heirloom and open-pollinated seeds,
then there are the unstable hybrids and genetically modified seeds (GMO's)
that do not promote diversity.
We must all try, as we can, to re-invent our country's food system, from the Big Corporate Government supported food and farms to more community supported agriculture (CSA),
farmers markets and more organic and heirloom varieties in grocery stores.
We all love food that taste good and that is what good seed delivers.


Variety is the spice of life.
