For the first time ever, genetically modified seeds have been made available to the common gardener for home use. I've been hearing from many home gardeners how excited they are to grow this new variety of tomato in their home garden, which to be honest, surprises me. Which makes me wonder if everyone knows exactly what GMO seeds are, and if we ought to be concerned? In today's podcast, I'm diving into the nitty gritty of what classifies a seed as GMO, or Hybrid, or F1 Hybrid. I'm also explaining self-pollination, open-pollination and what you need to know as a home-gardener to successfully seed save. But more importantly, I want to discuss the place of GMO seeds in the home-garden. For more information and any links mentioned in this episode, visit melissaknorris.com/419.
