Well all, the 2000 season is all but over. Don't know about the rest of
you, but we are planning to take the next 10 days and get our seed ordering,
plot planning, etc done. The weather is truly 'frightful', at least we
think so - not used to this cold !! So, time to get out the catalogs, the
data from this year on planting, sales, etc and finalize the 2001 season.
In doing that, we'd like to hear from all of you as to what varieties were
especially good, both in productivity and in sales.

I found a listing of seed (& plant) suppliers that have signed a 'safe seed pledge', namely that they "will not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants" at http://www.gene-watch.org/programs/SafeSeeds.html

Conspicuous by their absence are any large, well-known seed companies.

Under the most controlled conditions, the experimental apparatus
will do exactly as it pleases.
