Re: Burpee (was: seed-saving, etc.)

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Diana -- I'm sorry I didn't make my question clearer. 

You claimed that Burpee is a corporate giant (negative connotation), and
involved in Genetically Engineered seeds. I was surprised to read your
comment and wanted more information because I certainly want to know if
Burpee is involved with things which I do not want to support. 

The URL you provided was interesting, but it didn't address that question
except that Steve Badger said he found the company one of integrity, and
some other poster said (only) that she'd *heard* some not so good things
about it. So far, Badger -- the one with the first-hand knowledge -- has
the credibility edge in my book.

So please tell us if you know something about Burpee being an (evil)
corporate giant and/or involved in genetically engineered seeds.

Thanks,

Patricia
