How do I get non-hybrid seeds for my garden?
Written by admin on June 16, 2009 – 8:11 am -
I've been wanting to become economically independent with my gardening. That is, I want to cultivate vegetables and fruits whose seeds can then use to regrow the next season. However, the seeds that typically found throughout the center of the garden or grocery to a Home Depot are hybrid seeds, which generally does not produce fruit seeds that can be kept for the gardens beyond. Where can I find dell'non-hybrid seeds that produce fruit / vegetables whose seeds can reliably keep for next season?

The seeds from hybrids are good. The seeds are only called hybrids because they don’t let cross pollination occur from wild unknown plants.
They should make good seeds. Some crops will cross in your little garden with the bees and make seeds that you don’t want.
Some people put a bag over the flower and hand pollinate it.

Hybrid plants do produce seeds,but you wont get a true copy of the parent plant.

go to a good garden center and find out about your local master gardeners program. Any master gardener will be able to hook you up.
