This is typically done by using recombi- nant DNA technology to bring together DNA from different sources, usually NON PLANT-BASED, to create a new and novel set of genes, which are then transferred to a host or- ganism, giving that organism a new and unique set of genes. This NON NATURAL form of manipulation is what most people reject, and we agree that it requires more testing and crop protection protocols. The idea of inserting a bacteria which is poisonous to insects into a plant that we eat is of obvious concern and, while we are impressed with the technology, we believe that people have the right to know what is in the food they eat. Until more research is done, crop protections and clear labeling allow us the choice not to participate in this part of the market.

  • Garden Basic Heirloom Seed Saving
    Garden Basic: Growing and Saving Heirloom Seeds The ornamental plants that grace our gardens and the foods we grow and savor come from a variety of sources. Seeds of many familiar plants were deliberately brought here by generations of immigrants that arrived at our shores from all over the world. Other plants that we enjoy today originated in the Americas; some played (and continue to play) important roles in the daily lives of Native Americans. What is an Heirloom Plant? Varieties of plants that have been valued over time — for qualities such as flavor, beauty, disease resistance, or adaptability — and have been passed down through the generations are often referred to as heirloom plants. They carry with them stories of the people who grew them, enjoyed them, and saved them to pass on to their progeny. Heirloom plants are also repositories of rich genetic diversity that is now understood to be a vital asset that we may need to call upon at any moment. Much of the world’s population has become increasingly dependent upon a relatively few food crops — and often just a handful of varieties of each of these crops. The lack of genetic diversity leaves these crops vulnerable to insect and disease outbreaks, newly evolving pests, and changing environmental conditions. Fortunately, in addition to people who save seeds for their own use, there are also individuals and organizations that have shown the wisdom and foresight to preserve the legacy of many heirloom plants by saving, cataloguing, and storing their seeds and the genetic diversity they represent. Learn more: Lesson: Seed Banks: https://kidsgardening.org/lesson-plan-seed-banks/ Sadly, innumerable varieties have been lost, and with them genes that might have been the key to breeding new varieties that are resistant to some yet-unknown pest, or that are resilient in the face of a changing climate.
