When it comes to growing organic, I am about as hippie as a person can get. Chicken n Ducks for pest control n poop. Used to keep goat in part to clear the fields after a grow and keep the deer away during the grow. If you have ever smelled the pee of a male goat in rut you'd understand. Oh damn it stinks.
But organic seeds? Seriously?
I read an argument in one of my gardening / home stead forums (forget which). Someone in the seed exchanged mentioned using Miracle Grow on the mama plants. Someone else wigged and said she'd never use her seeds because they were not organic.
My thinking is even if it is pesticide or herbacide, could any of those chemicals wind up in the seed in such quantities to make a difference in the final fruit? Seems to me, there are probably more chemicals in ground water than there would be in those seeds.
Thoughts?
