Re: Micro seeds

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the info, ...ny's has done the good thing by getting on

the right track. I know years back, they didn't have that policy, so good to

know-I shouldn't have posted with checking to see if they had upgraded to non

gmo. There ARE seeds that are GMO-and plenty of them. Pretty much any seed you

buy has the potential to be GMO-squash being the most prevalant. Cabbage is

highly gmo, though it isn't so much on the radar. The problem is, there was a

lot of " testing " done on GMO varieties, and many crops were cross polinated-that

can never be undone, so I am super careful to use only seeds I trust. Due to my

allergies, I have to be more vitilant than most, but the info still needs to be

out there so others can make a choice. thanks for updating me.
