I HAVE A BIG QESTION: FIRST OF ALL, ORGANIC IS GREAT!
BUT…… ARE THE SEEDS “HEIRLOOM?” I THINK SOMEWHERE
YOU ALSO NEED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, IF YOU HAVEN’T
ALREADY.
THANKS FOR YOUR FEEDBACK, WHEN YOU HAVE THE TIME.

June 3, 2015Hi Cindy,
Great comment. Are you referencing Heirloom as apposed to Hybrid I’m guessing? If so, that’s a great note to address sometime. I actually don’t have anything against hybrid plants as it is something that happens naturally in nature. Any time you cross two dogs you get a mutt that is a hybrid of the first two. In a sense we are all “hybrids”. It’s simply crossing two tomato varieties for instance and coming up with a new variety.
That being said, they are not so good for saving the seeds from because you cannot guarantee that the seed will produce true to type. It may revert back to one of the parent varieties.
Hope this helps! And if you’re especially wanting heirloom seeds than Bakers Creek is a great company to look into.
