Did you know that almost all seeds bough in every store in the USA and most of the world is owned by one corporation and they have been genetically modified to not produce any seeds?

This is so you have to buy more seeds the next year (So they say)
Not only are hybrid GM seeds sterile and lack nutrition, but the real reason is so you cannot feed you family or yourself in a time of crisis.

Self reliance calls for you to buy your seeds from a company that produces heritage seeds that have not been touched to alter them and will grow and produce seed's after the plant has matured.

IMPORTANT:
These are all-natural seeds, original strains of garden food non-hybrid, not genetically modified.
Most of these seeds date back 150 years. Heirloom offspring seeds can be saved and grown later. Important when people are starving!

Seed Companies No Hybrid, heritage seeds:

Comment by Wolf on November 9, 2013 at 10:50am: I am planting cover crops radishes. This will control the weeds as well as replace nutrients and keep the top soil in place. With this method we no longer have to till, looking forward to spring.

Comment by Anthony Kimbrough on December 10, 2012 at 8:14am: Garlic is finally starting to bust through, got a little worried about it. This year we try something different, grains. I'll cut back on the green beans and try some of the Ancient Grains. Based on what they prefer in soil, sun, shade, water, I'll plant them in one of the 3 garden areas. Not a lot to start with while I learn them.

Comment by Anthony Kimbrough on July 4, 2012 at 1:33am: These are Peanut Beans, like the ones sold as Old Joe Clark beans. A small green bean with a big flavor. If SHTF though, go with rattlesnake beans, which grow shade, sun, wet, or dry.

Different types of heirloom tomatoes. They're planted close together to shade each other from the heat, small coverage of grass for the evaporation of the water. Old package of Epson Salts, helps with bottom rot.

Comment by Anthony Kimbrough on June 25, 2012 at 12:11am: Thanks, we're just getting started into the year with canning. Crossing our fingers on the sauerkraut. We do ours organic and except for the Broccoli, no GM foods either. generally just grow enough for our family and extended one, then we give away whatever is left. The neighbor next door to us has a farm stand in White Pine I think, maybe Dandridge.

Comment by Anthony Kimbrough on June 24, 2012 at 2:09am: We done a few more green beans and some bread & butter pickles again. Tried making Sauerkraut, 26 qts. We'll know in a few weeks, 1st time on that.
