Re: My two cents
I agree here. Selling seeds really shouldn't be tolerated on this list
since promoting it only leads to all our genetic trees becoming worthless
unless on only uses their own seeds or close friends seeds. Promoting via
allowing the purchace of seeds just gets new growers into a mess. I have
enjoyed free seeds and when I was just starting, buying seeds became a big
mess. The company I bought from didn't help me at all and actually took a
month to get me my seeds, which I didn't use. Free trading of seeds is the
way to go. We don't need competition or inovation in seed selling to get
this hobby up and going. In fact, that will only ruin it.
