It probably is. There is also the reality that by the time I find the order, its' already paid for. I did a bit of looking into the company, and it gets federal government subsidies as well, so there would not be much sense in trying to resist them. It sucks.

One of the things I never anticipated dealing with in selling seeds is having orders put in that make me queasy. Like when a GMO developer company orders legume seeds. A part of me wishes they would just do it incognito, and not put a company name to it, and then I'd never know any different...

I've found sweetness in tomatoes to be quite varietal, and have had a few that were too sweet.

I've always really liked the 'Nasieddu' beans on your website @Blue-Jay , they're all such nice looking beans. I've been a bit afraid of growing them though; Italian beans have given me a few close calls so far. Most of them have matured in good time, but a few were really cutting it close. I...

Me: You need to stop sowing more seeds than you have room for. Also me: Sounds like a 2027 problem. All the tomatoes are sown, and 90% are already up! I tested a few older batches of seed lots, back to the first couple years I saved tomato seed. I think that was 2016 (maybe a few in 2015)...

I think 'Sari Taneli Sera' has a nice ring to it! 🔔

It definitely darkened. Yes, I found that on Guy Dirix's website last night.

I will have a look at my jar of beans tonight, and see what they look like. I'll post a photo, I grew my seeds in 2023.

@Blue-Jay do you think the 'Turkey' bean you have (which I think was called Turkey #1 before if I remember correctly) might be this bean? https://belleepoquemeise.be/le-roi-du-potager/sari-taneli-sera/

Oooooh the 'Anniversay' sweet pea!!! I hope you post pictures this summer of all these flowers!

I love the ceramic pots too ducks, so elegant and pretty. 🪴

I know!!!

I'm so relieved to have almost all the tomatoes planted, and the 'Schoenbrunn' ground cherries too. I'm actually thrilled to see the cherries up already in a matter of days! Not common for the physalis family! Could not for the life of me find my pump action spray watering can, so I had to...

'Margot' is so pretty! :love

So true @Alasgun. I have a dear friend who has really put on weight in the last 10 years, and is now pre-diabetic. Her sister had diabetes and died young, her brother has it too and recently had a leg amputated. 'Health professionals' have all told her 'she's perfect just the way she is'...

My gosh. I'm so used to doing my own thing in the garden I've really become disassociated from commercial practices, I tend to keep my eyes on the seed saving stuff more. It's mind boggling that its this bad. It was never 'good', but food that purposefully genetically alters our DNA. Heaven...

Just when I thought things were already mindblowingly bad, I found out they're spraying the crops with actual RNA, that the plants uptake so it alters their DNA, which people will then eat and absorb into their own bodies affecting their DNA. Modern commercial farming is one of the greatest...

So many things to consider with greenhouses. One thing that people always say when they see my little greenhouse is 'you must get a head start on the plants with that'! Personally, I really don't because of nighttime temperatures. I'd have to heat it for getting a head start on plants, and...
