RE: The Hunger Gap: Part I

Wow, dude.

THAT is abundance.

Where are you, btw?

I heard government was clamping down on people storing seeds. Specifically heirloom seeds. In the U.S.A.

Which is terrifying actually.

!LUV

East Coast US.
And no, there is no clamp down on buying, selling or owning seeds of any kind. LOL!

Ah... okay :)

I read something online a while back that mentioned new legislation to prevent storage of certain seeds... perhaps it was just the internet of amazing things doing it's job :D

How odd that somehow, our dear close personal friend the interwebs had some silliness on it!

:)

You gotta love the internet.

I'd keep an eye on things and do some digging if I were into growing etc

They are quiet about it... but legislation is in place and things are quietly shifted all fo the time. The folks who suffer most are those who are less privileged with decent education on what is and what isn't actually legal etc.

It's a good fight for someone who is into this stuff.

And this stuff is... as you say and know... crucial now!
