Increasing Community Seed Returns-- Ideas

Well you might not have to, as I’m more than willing to share seeds. DM me.

Yes but you aren’t likely to find them in fresh fruit form. I don’t worry about having patented seeds in the fruits since the seeds won’t come true to type (Seeds not coming true to type aren’t a risk to them, they’re more scared of cloning via cutting like with delmonte’s GMO Pink Pineapples where they take out the top). I think they forgot that Pineapples contain seeds inside their fruit & could be easily savable (By eating the fruit & spitting the small seeds out) like how I did for the regular non gmo Yellow Pineapples.

If you want to gauge the attitude towards seed saving from a Grocery Store Tomato Brand, check out Sunset Growers Website (Scroll down to Q&A). Tomatoes - SUNSET Grown. All rights reserved.


Here’s their attitude towards Typical garderners saving seeds from their Tomatoes. Basically average gardener is no treat to bussiness model, since you only obtain F2 seeds from their fruits, They don’t worry about you having F2 seeds. It’s the F1 seeds they won’t sell to you (Which you can’t get from fruit anyways).

Another brand is the GMO Purple Tomato by Norfolk which actually encourages gardeners to save seeds from them (As long as you don’t resell them). Funny story, the super NON GMO Heirloom seed company Baker Creek almost sold their seeds by “accident”). GMO Purple Tomato by Norfolk LANDRACE

@Kimzy Also that luffa lookin super nice! Would be awesome for those to go into a Luffa/Sponge Gourd Landrace on GTS. If not we could trade for em, DM me.

Sure but I have no idea how it would work out. I’m still not quite sure what are all the responsibilities of the GTS Seed Steward. I would happily do what I can to make it happen.
Basically GTS is the only seed swap I have access to, None exist where I live Locally.
