Um… no. Just no.
Farmers and gardeners have NOT been cross-breeding seeds like this for thousands of years.
What those well-intentioned readers fail to understand is the fundamental difference between hybrid seeds and GMOs.

Informative post; thank you for sharing. I hadn’t realised that f1 Hybrid seeds couldn’t be harvested until recently when I started planting in my new poyltunnel. I am now passionate about harvesting my seeds that grow well in my soil, climate etc. Realseed.com is a brilliant source of REAL seeds! All love
