Bicycle808 - The no commercial use thing does seem odd since it is a food crop. But if you read the side of the packing on a rose bush, you might find much the same. Then there are the Monsanto types that draw the line at seed saving. I think it is all just different marketing approaches. Not saying I understand the logic behind it.
On getting the willies, not sure Mr. Currie gives me the willies but the things he says definitely do. Just read about something being grown in something like 'Secret California Farm Number 6'. I think I remember an interview with him where he talked about his secret gardens and how cut throat the business is. All that talk gives the impression that there are secret pepper ninja out in my fields and I better string some booby traps or something. I am entirely too busy with deer concern to worry about pepper ninja.
OK, seriously. Every year I find myself tilling under more property and putting more effort in efforts in this genre of the farm. I am meeting more people, making more friends. Building a wonderful business for my family and I. I would hate to think that I am running head on into something I would eventually detest. Have seen some of it online, but you get that with anything internet. If I ever need secret gardens, I am so out of here.
