Greetings all growersI have a great question it is about etablishing a seed bank buying seeds from business are usally able to be collected for use due to the fact they are pattened and if the f1 high bred may not come true to produce the crop and most seed companys seeds are pattened and can not be re used or if they are pollinated could change the genitic of the plant so any ideas on seed banks or creating one???thanks cathieSee More
