Gardening Organic

Todays dilemma of vegetable gardening consists of too many options. Hybrids, Heirlooms, Organics, Oh my. Which ones do I choose ? Here is a brief description of all of them. Hybrids are non-organic plants/seeds that have been genetically altered to produce foliage, flowers and disease resistance. They are wonderful to look at but grow all kinds of flowers that the bees seem to ignore. No bees, no fruits. Great. Heirlooms: Must be from it's own seed for at least 50 years. These provide advantages that most organics lack. One is the test of time. They also fetch a bigger price at market. You can grow them as an organic seed if you wish not to use chemicals in the soil or topical. Finally, organics: Grown without any chemicals what so ever, however here's the trick..... http://greenanything.net
