An amazing mix of truth, half-truth, lies, propaganda, religion, politics,
wisdom, contradiction and nonsense. You could call it sales-speak.

For a "survivalist" the selection is odd. Too many are summer annuals, you
are going to get very hungry in the cooler months and there ought to be more
staples and things that will keep. Why on earth do you want cucumber and
two kinds of lettuce (low food value) but there is no pumpkin or potato
(high food value and keep outside the fridge)?

It is a lot of money to spend on seeds unless you know and trust the source.
The average gardener would take years to use all these. I thought they were
pushing these seeds being heirloom which implies true breeding, seed saving
etc, why then do you need a supply for five years, assuming they will last
that long?

If it were me I would save my $164, spend much less on a sensible quantities
of seeds that are more suitable and rely on Worldnet Daily for entertainment
while waiting for the rapture.

Indeed. And who needs 5 years worth of seeds when the world ends in 2012?

Well, do I have an offer you fellows.

For those that get taken up in the Rapture. I Dan the atheist will take
very good care of any animals that get left behind that belong to you.
Just mail me a check for $2,000 US dollars and your home address
(optional) for this great offer of Pet Rapture Insurance

As for the 2012 theory no one is left behind to take advantage of

One side question:
Can't one freeze seeds that will last as long as the power holds up?

If so I will stock up on the seeds and ammo. Personal insurance when all
the currencies in the world collapse and gas will not be available.

Like the video -
Just me and the dog in my bunker with world falling apart around me

I would say with the rampant rise of the paranoid nutcases in this country
lately it only makes sense to market to them. I love the containers, you
can bury them so the Feds won't confiscate your seeds. Nice garden pics,
wonder where the machine gun nests and gun towers are.

They are very expensive based on prices that I can buy
heirloom/heritage/open pollinated seeds for in Australia.

I did a quickk count of the seeds they were selling and got 22 packs of
seeds - If I bought the same varieties in Oz, I'd pay just $58.75US from the
cheapest seed supplier for the same vegetables (but perhaps not the same
vaireties) but I'd have a wider range of choice.

Just in case you're interested, these are the major heritage seed suppliers
I can access:
http://www.edenseeds.com.au/content/default.asp
http://www.thelostseed.com.au/index.htm
http://www.diggers.com.au/

BTW, did they mention that the 2 varieties of corn shouldn't be planted
close to each other?

You elitists just don't get it. Getting all wrapped up in technicalities
and alleged facts.

quote from ad

Remember, non-hybrid seeds can be grown practically anywhere and have
the ability to assimilate mineral and trace elements from the soil that
man made plants just don't seem to have. That's because they were
created by God as we read in Genesis:

And God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed,
and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to
its kind, on the earth."

/quote


Seems so simple, now that I've had it explained to me! If you want to be
saved you have to trust in the Lord and send in the check.

Send me a check also, I will take good care of your fido when Jesus

demise for a nominal cost. Good to profit of others fears or stupidity

Jeff sounds like a minister, if you want to be saved send him some money!

I didn't say it in my other post and should have, I would support anyone

haven't done sufficient research on yields, harvest and flavour.

Don't hurt me, love, but there is such a thing as hybrid vigor, at least
with corn. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterosis#Hybrid_corn
or is this just a bunch of hooey (waffle)? I agree about the flavor, but
our (US) sweetest corn is F1 (Sweet to the point that you feel like you
are sucking on sugar; not my favorite.). Then there is Early Girl tomato
(F1) vaunted by Chef Alice Waters, but after that, I can't think of any
other argument. With other fruits and vegetables heirloom (open
pollenated) plants seem to be best. What really gets me narked is having
to buy new seeds every year for F1s. In a survival situation, that
probably wouldn't be an option.

Indeed there is such a thing as Hybrid vigour but I really do hope that you
aren't saying that hybrid vigour equates with the best flavour, the best
yield and the longest period for harvest. I'd be very surprised if you did.
Mongrels have a use and that is why I mentioned homework.

I agree about the flavor, but
our (US) sweetest corn is F1 (Sweet to the point that you feel like you

LOL You don't like it but you think that its a good example of F1?????
Pay attention to what you are trying to argue here Billy!

Then there is Early Girl tomato
(F1) vaunted by Chef Alice Waters, but after that, I can't think of any
other argument.

Who is Alice Waters and why would what she thinks about one variety of
tomato be important to you? But even more to the point, since I have never
heard of her, why do you think that what she thinks should be important to
me?

With other fruits and vegetables heirloom (open
pollenated) plants seem to be best. What really gets me narked is having
to buy new seeds every year for F1s. In a survival situation, that
probably wouldn't be an option.

Yup. If the poop does ever hit the fan then corn will be the one crop that
I would miss as it's at total bitch from which to save one's own seeds.
