Fairly new here, I'm wondering where you all get your vegetable seeds from? There's a whole bunch of smaller seed companies (and a few big ones!) that come up on a google search. Hard to choose who to go with.

well my friend grow food with organically but he doesn't purchase any organic seeds (unless it's the same price as non organic). He doesn't have any scientific evidence to prove otherwise but according to him buying organic seeds is like buying gluten free water. He recommended me rareseeds.com because the ship is only $3.5, what you think guys? wonder, nobody recommends rareseeds here, may be mostly don't like

always an interesting discussion gmo/non-gmo... when I was growing up n we ate watermelon, we'd be spitting seeds like a tommy gun... today... no seeds..

I used to grow corn... I'd get the water boiling, run out cut the corn n cook... sometime the corn was sweet, other times not so... today I go to the market, buy corn, I can leave it in the fridge for days, cook it and it's sweet/sweet/sweet...

gmo/non-gmo????

Good luck finding corn these days that isn't GMO. Seems every hybrid has a GMO history.

I saw a commercial on TV a few days ago for Roundup for lawns. So you can spray all your corn and continue on to your lawn with that nasty shit. Disgusting!

Happy 420 everyone!

There's a farmer in Idaho named Lynn Stedman that used to sell his organic wheat & corn under the name "Grandpa's Grains".

I'm still using some of the non-GMO corn I got from him about 5 years ago. For seed and sometimes, to eat.

I gotta disagree... today's corn that we buy at the market, prob comes from florida or mexico, gets picked, then shipped... all this taking days, u can leave it in the fridge for days, cook it and its still sweeter then corn I grew in my own garden.... gotta luv them GMO'S

and I'm saving $$$ in another way tooo.. when I go to the bathroom, no need to turn on the lite... I seem to emit a glow... just enough lite to find the toilet when I pee...
