Orga\u00adnic seeds are the basis for orga\u00adnic cul\u00adti\u00adva\u00adti\u00adon on your own bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny. Orga\u00adnic seed is cer\u00adti\u00adfied accor\u00adding to pro\u00addu\u00adced accor\u00adding to orga\u00adnic gui\u00adde\u00adlines<\/strong>, Seed\u00adpro\u00adof<\/strong> resp. rebuildable<\/strong> in con\u00adtrast to hybrid varie\u00adties<\/strong>reco\u00adgnizable by the F1 mar\u00adking on the seed bag. Hybrid varie\u00adties can\u00adnot be pro\u00adpa\u00adga\u00adted true to varie\u00adty. Hybrid varie\u00adties are bred for one-time cul\u00adti\u00adva\u00adti\u00adon, for uni\u00adform growth and shape. The\u00adse uni\u00adform plants are bred for yield, e.g. for good trans\u00adpor\u00adta\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty and resis\u00adtance to pests. Far\u00admers are forced to buy new seeds every year and are the\u00adr\u00ade\u00adfo\u00adre hea\u00advi\u00adly depen\u00addent on seed com\u00adpa\u00adnies such as Mons\u00adan\u00adto. The same appli\u00ades to us bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny gar\u00adden\u00aders. When we try to take seeds from hybrid varie\u00adties and grow them the fol\u00adlo\u00adwing year, we are in for big sur\u00adpri\u00adses. The yield is low becau\u00adse the plants are weak. We would not be satis\u00adfied. If we bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny gar\u00adden\u00aders use hybrid seeds, we can grow seeds from them for the fol\u00adlo\u00adwing year, but what comes out the fol\u00adlo\u00adwing year is sur\u00adpri\u00adsing, regu\u00adlar\u00adly not the per\u00adfect start\u00ading plant with its posi\u00adti\u00adve cha\u00adrac\u00adte\u00adristics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accor\u00adding to the EU Orga\u00adnic Far\u00adming Regu\u00adla\u00adti\u00adon, orga\u00adnic seeds are all seeds who\u00adse mother plants have been cul\u00adti\u00adva\u00adted accor\u00adding to orga\u00adnic gui\u00adde\u00adlines. This means that if they have only been grown orga\u00adni\u00adcal\u00adly once, they are orga\u00adnic seeds. The bree\u00adding methods and cul\u00adti\u00adva\u00adti\u00adon can be con\u00adven\u00adtio\u00adnal for years until the eli\u00adte seed is obtai\u00adned. Only this is sown on orga\u00adnic land for fur\u00adther pro\u00adpa\u00adga\u00adti\u00adon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the seeds of Mons\u00adan\u00adto and Co. might sneak back into bal\u00adco\u00adnies and gar\u00addens. Be awa\u00adre of this. In addi\u00adti\u00adon, seeds from dis\u00adcount stores are often hybrid seeds \u2014 reco\u00adgnizable by the F1 label on the seed packet. They yield a lot and look beau\u00adtiful. But they can\u00adnot repro\u00addu\u00adce per\u00adfect\u00adly. Often the seeds are also irra\u00addia\u00adted. What\u2019s more, some of the seeds you find in dis\u00adcount stores come from sub\u00adsi\u00addia\u00adries of pesti\u00adci\u00adde manu\u00adfac\u00adtu\u00adr\u00aders who also make good pro\u00adfits from gene\u00adtic engi\u00adnee\u00adring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good reasons not to buy your seeds from the super\u00admar\u00adket. But if you\u2019\u00adre on a tight bud\u00adget and a beg\u00adin\u00adner, I\u2019d say it\u2019s bet\u00adter to get star\u00adted and enjoy gar\u00addening than to have an emp\u00adty bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny.

Of cour\u00adse, gro\u00adwing your own seeds is an important opti\u00adon. Let the plants flower (for us to enjoy and of cour\u00adse for the insects), let the seeds ripen until they turn brown and almost fall out (\u201crust\u00adle dry\u201d), remo\u00adve the seeds, let them dry real\u00adly well, put them away in a cool, dark place. Here is an exam\u00adp\u00adle of the peren\u00adni\u00adal wild rocket. If this is done over a num\u00adber of years, the seeds will adapt bet\u00adter and bet\u00adter to the bal\u00adc\u00ado\u00adny loca\u00adti\u00adon and cli\u00adma\u00adte chan\u00adge. You will have fewer and fewer pro\u00adblems with pests and dise\u00ada\u00adses and will have saved money and trans\u00adpor\u00adta\u00adti\u00adon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
