I don't see the harm in trading or even selling seeds. What are they worried about? I grazed the article and only saw mention of weeds growing. Big deal... for some reason Monsanto comes to mind.
Monsanto control is what this is about. They already went after the farmers now they are coming for the back yard gardener.Originally Posted by Arklatex

Yep. This has been going on for a long time now. They can kiss my ass.
We have Watermelon seed in the freezer that has been passed down for at least 30 yrs, with each growing season.
We also have access to Heirloom Corn, for cornmeal.
You can buy Heirloom seed for just about anything, it just costs more.
Funny thing, I remember as a kid, my Mom's compost pile used to grow all sorts of veggies!!

Yeah now if you plant say a bigboy tomato and you plant the seeds sure it grows a big ol plant but will never grow a fruit..... now if that's not cornering the market.
Monsanto GMO crap is a slow death for us the reason they are killing us slow is so we can line the pockets the health care and pharmaceutical company's

It's a way of life here to share seed, and take cuttings from flowers, etc.
That's how we got our 4 plum tree's and an Apple tree.
Good reminder tho. We need to order Heirloom while there is still a Postal Service to deliver!

We have two big boxes of heirloom seeds packed away. If the state of Minnesota wants to come and take them, my reaction will be similar to them coming for my guns. Or as Charlton Heston would say, give 'em the finger!
I learned another really ridiculous law in Minnesota this week: If I offer to share any of my first batch of home brewed beer with any of my friends or family, I am breaking state law! **** that! If this beer turns out well, I may just brew up a keg next. Then next summer have a BBQ for all my friends and serve heirloom veggies, a Boston Butt (that Michelle Obama wants to outlaw) and as much home brew as folks care to drink! Minnesota can kiss my ass!
Boot leg beverages, sounds like fun! When my uncle died they found a few old wooden cider presses in the back. They also found a bunch of 20's and 30's car frames. He had a black 1928 ford with running boards and a 1934 blue convertible with the rumble seat. He would take them to parades.
He also had a 1969 Chevy that had been in the family since 1969. It was offered to me when I was 16 or 17 but it never happened.
What's the difference between a crackhead and a tweaker?
The crackhead will steal your shit and bounce--the tweaker will steal your shit and then help you look for it.
Question about the Heirloom seeds ? do you just scrape them out say from a tomato, clean and dry them, now you have more seeds?
