Non-Hybrid Seeds

Non-Hybrid Seeds haven’t been this popular since the advent of so called modern farming. After the end of World War II, farming methods that had been proven for decades were pushed aside in the name of progress. The family farm became passé. We were promised that the worlds hunger problems would be solved. It was going to be better living through chemistry. We were shown big tractors cultivating fields that were acres long and told how much more efficient it was.

What they forgot to say however was that it wasn’t sustainable.

They also neglected to tell us about all the health risks these chemicals seem to draw like a magnet,.... Whoops.
I don’t think I ever heard Uncle Walt ask the question about the long term effects of these new chemicals. And I doubt Andy Rooney ever asked “I wonder why these genetically engineered plants can’t reproduce?
Well times have changed since the 60's. Who among us then ever thought that the radicals who were protesting in the streets, burning flags, bombing police stations and warning against “Big Brother” would be the same radicals in the White House today? Those people who lauded free speech then now want to stop ours. Remember the joke “I’m from the government and I am here to help you.” My Grandfather would have run them off back in that day. It's not funny any more is it?

The economic recession that we are in the grips of is fueling a resurgence in home gardening.

With mounting unemployment and lower wages, families are becoming more creative in ways to stretch the budget. Self sufficiency can be a comforting thought. Every day seems to bring another harbinger of bad news.
In a matter of months "Hope And Change" has brought us a national debt of nightmarish proportions. Do you think we are going to turn things around like this? It sounds like fertile ground for a new Hal Lindsy novel, doesn't it? It certainly would seem more plausible today than at any other time in history.

Popular radio personality Glen Beck tells listeners to consider starting a food pantry and to think about starting a victory garden. He talks about having insurance, just in case . Gee, how radical and insane is that! Well it’s not and I agree wholeheartedly. At least there a few people on the airwaves who are actually thinking and asking questions. God knows the days of investigative reporting are over. Now we have talking heads reading script from a teleprompter, regurgitating what they have been paid to say. Here in Memphis, Tennessee a forecast foretelling the slightest possibility of snow will have the bread and milk cleared off the shelves in a matter of hours. People get scared, they start thinking what if? I don’t know what would happen in our city if there ever was a real disaster or catastrophe. After the earth quakes recently there were video reports of open looting in the streets within six hours. Not very comforting is it. Do you have an emergency supply of food?

Growing your own food can dramatically reduce your grocery expense and provide you with extra to store. I have been an organic gardener forever it seems and I realize that not everyone has that experience. Non-Hybrid Seeds pay for themselves over and over, year after year. But they wont help you a bit if you don’t know how to grow. If you are willing to learn, have a look around this website. That is about as easy as it gets. I encourage you to invest in some non-hybrid seeds now and discover for yourself how easy it is to grow your own food when you work in harmony with nature. Come on, let’s get something growing.
