RE: Seed Stocks
BP,

I had that understanding but it is not 100% true.

I had this discussion on the main site a while ago. The seed farmers buy is sterile but the stuff we buy will reproduce but not always with the same properties. For example a pea with cold resistance may produce other peas but without the cold resistance.

I contacted a manufacturer and they confirmed it. So we can use F1 seeds but your point is true. Buy heirloom by default for our long term supplies. However you should also have hybrid for short term, because some grow quicker, bigger and in more hostile conditions. Ideal for us straight away after an event.

So I decided to buy some hybrids but mainly heirloom.
