Can the public buy GMO seeds?
To set the record straight, there are currently no genetically modified garden seeds available for sale to the general public. Not from Lake Valley or other seed companies selling to home gardeners. Some GMO crops are grown in the U.S., but these are production crops like field corn, soy, canola, and sugar beets.
How long will heirloom seeds last?
For short-term storage, such as for next year’s garden, storing the seed jar in a cool, dark, moisture-free environment is sufficient. Heirloom seeds stored this way will last for 3-5 years. For longer storage, place the jar in the refrigerator and the seeds should be good for 10-15 years.
