Reminder you cannot plant seeds from produce coming from outside the country because it is all irradiated and sterilized.. plant only from USA fruits and veggies at the grocery.

Many of the vegetables sold at groceries are hybrids whose seeds won't sprout.

Not only that, it is likely that using seeds from the store fruit/veg wont even produce the same thing you bought. Look to your public library. Some of them (at least in smaller towns) have a seed library where you can check out seeds that come from other local people.

You "check out" some seeds, plant and grow, then at the end of the session you let one or more of your plants go to seed and take them back to be added back into the library.

This leads to varieties that are more suited for the area you are in as they will adapt to the local soil/temp/etc conditions over time.

Seed library, huh? That is about the most out fucking standing thing that I have read about today!

Yeah, I learned that years ago when I was going through a discovery stage where I learned that I was a shitty gardener.
