Guest guest Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Last year I planted some see chard and some plants. It bolted as the weather got very hot fast. I let some of it go all winter and it got cut off and come back like new. What I do not like is, I expected little plants to be all over the place, none. That indicates to me it is Genetically modified plants and seed I planted last year. Never ever have i SEEN THIS .I will not eat any of this chard, and feel guilty feeding it to my rabbit. I cringe to think that we will lose our ffood. I like our food, oand hate to never have it again. Tomatoes are blah, I guess there will never be a good tomatoe again. I am looking for seed that is not genetically modified, even just chard. I am going to have to get every last piece of root out of this field and will hope that if I find good seed that it does not get contaminated with Gm Seed. sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 www.heirloomseeds.com I have ordered from this company for about 7 years. Very good quality seed. These are all non-hybrid, heirloom seeds. They carry vegetable, flower, and herb seeds. ~Marianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Sharon, You didn't neccessarily have GM plants. Hybrid plants often do not grow or grow different quality fruit from saved seed. I don't have the scientific terminology for this, but hybrid seeds are grown from mingling different strains of the same plant to produce a plant that has a certain desirable size, shape or coloring. For example, mingling pollen from 2 different tomato plants to develop a third style of tomato. GM seeds/plants are altered in the laboratory by mingling genes together. Hybrid seeds/plants can be developed in your own garden by just having bees pollinate two differnet types of tomato plants...that's what happens when you plant zuchini & crook neck yellow squash to close and get an odd looking fruit growing on the plants. Heirloom seeds are what you need to look for if you want to save seeds and grow your next years garden from last years seeds.
