They are promoting this as something for WTSHTF. It was on FNC, so the DUmmies won't see it.

Don't folks save seeds from their own fruit and flower plants anymore? Cost = $0.
I'll admit I don't either, but I am just returning to gardening with an Aerogrow garden to start seeds. Wow, now that is spendy seed starting with the master gardener kit. $20 just for the kit and no seeds.
Well, shoot - I improvised. Truly, the starting seeds in water makes a huge difference, and they also had the nutrients. Tomato seeds I started: CowPots and others in the Aerogarden water. The Aerogarden ones transplanted into Cowpots are almost twice the size of the ones I just started in soil.
Well, that left me with just three new spongy things to start with to transplant peppers into the soil. So, I made do and used paper towels to stuff into the plastic thing-a-ma-jigs. Voila - it worked! I got peppers sprouted.

Some of the seeds from plants don't ever sprout. :( Probably made to be sterile so people CAN'T grow their own. There is legislation in the works to prevent/ dissuade people from growing their own vegetables and fruits. Something about heavy taxes or something, I forget.

Yes, the Congress members husband works at Monsanto, so they have a financial stake in banning heirloom seeds it seems.
