The Seed You Can’t Save Isn’t Yours

The seed you buy has a story written into it. Whether it reproduces true to type, whether you can save it, whether it belongs to you indefinitely or just for one season ~ these are not minor details. They are sovereignty. Open-pollinated varieties can be saved. Hybrids cannot. Landraces belong to place. Patents belong to corporations. Understanding the difference changes what you plant and why.
