subject: Finding The Best Nonhybrid Seeds Companies [print this page] We know were in a slump when people put down tabloids and throw away the Wall Street Journal and start reading catalogs from nonhybrid seeds companies instead. Fortunately, there is a wide variety of free seed catalogs available, and theyre likely to become preferred reading by people looking to take control of their food budgets.
Where can you find free seed catalogs? Just plug the phrase nonhybrid seeds companies into a search engine and hit enter, and youll find a wide variety of seed wholesalers eager to send you their catalogs whether in print or in electronic form. The chances are also pretty good that some of your nearby home and garden stores will have several free seed catalogs from which to choose, as well. Many nonhybrid seeds companies offering nonhybrid quality, non-GMO varieties will be eager to send you free seed catalogs, too.
Once youve found the best nonhybrid seeds companies and the catalogs are in hand, what kinds of seeds should you order? Well, get them all: Carrots, cucumbers, cruciferous vegetables of all kinds, melons, beans, tomatoes, squash, peppers these and countless other delicious, healthy foods can be home-grown, saving money and enhancing the quality of life. Of particular value are organic, non-GMO bulk seeds, which are the best choice for people looking to start a family gardening tradition.
Nonhybrid bulk seeds are pedigreed varieties that come from a time prior to the use of pesticides and herbicides. They are the horticulturalists equivalent of the priceless jewelry or works of art passed down from one generation to another. Most nonhybrid bulk seeds are from strains at least 50 years old; of them are nearly as old as the United States itself. These are not always free seeds, but they are the best if you can afford them and because you can preserve them, they can be considered free seeds after the first harvest.
Unlike hybrid or Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) seeds, nonhybrid bulk seeds are natural, and can be collected and re-used for years. Hybrid seeds are produced by splicing together at least two separate varieties. GMO seeds may contain genes from non-plant species for example, there is a GMO tomato strain that incorporates the anti-freeze traits of an arctic fish in order to make it frost-resistant.
Yes, there are advantages to GMO free seeds. However, we dont know enough about genetic science to understand fully the trade-offs involved in such modifications, particularly with respect to the health impact on those who eat GMO foods. Who wants suppertime to be a science experiment with the diners used as guinea pigs? Besides, organic, non-GMO nonhybrid seeds yield produce that simply tastes more like food; they have the full flavor many of us remember from our youth. Nonhybrid seeds may cost a little more up front, but in the long run theyre free seeds when looked at in terms of cost-to-benefit ratio.
