Seed Savers Exchange?? Seeds of Change??

Definitely missed a couple of big ones!

[growingyourgreens]

Im not a big fan of Seeds of Change. They got BOUGHT out by M&M Mars YES!- the candy bar company).... and since then, I believe they are going down hill, since they are corporate owned. On Seed Savers, I didnt have their "catalog' vs "Yearbook", so they were not mentioned. They will actually get their OWN episode, as its so important. Its on the "list"..

What is the difference between organic and hybrid seeds?

[growingyourgreens]

Organic Seeds were produced in a way that conforms to the National Organic Program, basically without the use of most synthetic chemicals/etc. The problem is not all seeds are organic, and if you only grow "organic" then you are massivly reducing diversity. Hybrids are varieties resulting from natural or artificial pollination between genetically distinct parents. Open-pollinated seeds come from relatively stable varieties resulting from pollination between genetically similar parents

What a awesome video, YOU ARE THE MAN! I love your information it is such a blessing a motivation for me. I got some new heirloom melons today and some organic mulch.I am so motivated to see how they taste because I use the Azomite rock dust to make it crazy good. Thanks John for your passion!

[SeedsandShovels]

Are there any companies that sell Katuk through mail order?

Just a side note - I love this channel, and you inspired me to start my entire (first) garden from seeds purchased from Baker Creek. It's definitely a learning experience, and my 17 month old daughter really enjoys getting down in the dirt with me.

Wow, thanks for all the great info! I usually just buy from Baker Creek because they are located about half an hour away from me, but I'm definitely going to have to check out Johnny's for their micro-greens.

@growingyourgreens Seeds of change seems to be a lot more expensive than other places too. I did get a few seed packets from them last year, and the packets contained a pretty small amount of seeds.
