If this was as serious as the quoted opinion makes out, where are the
strident complaints from the seed merchants - the Thompson & Morgans
of the UK and across Europe?
It would cost them a fortune to register every one of their varieties.
If they are not worried, should we be?

Good point. You would expect to hear something from them if it were
the case. Have they not been heard to make any comment at all?

We get our seeds from Jelitto, which is a German company. I'll ask Ray
if he knows of any particular worries that they have. And email to
will either come to me or get forwarded to
me by someone.


I'd have thought that the RHS would have had something to say about it.

It was mentioned in the last issue of The Garden. Unfortunately it
didn't look like informed commentary.

Do you mean the piece by Lia Leendertz? Not sure if that was the last
issue. But I did think that it gave a good perspective from the
amateur gardener's pov. No? There was an editorial on it too.
