As Beth and I have been discussing the new column here at Goshen Gazette, somewhere along the lines, the mention of sharing seeds came up. She commented, "like the friendship bread starters" . . . and so after checking into the legal responsibility, I think we have yet another great idea!
For all of our readers who are interested in some gardening and raising heirloom produce, I've done some checking. First, our Creator made most produce very potentially prolific. One radish produces hundreds of seeds. One ear of corn usually has at least 200 kernels and each kernel planted has the potential to produce 2 to 3 years. One tomato or pepper produces more seeds than the average household garden would hold.
Now, here's the deal. There are laws regulating sales, of course. And there are laws governing the transporting of plants, but seeds can be given, even mailed, without a problem. So between now and next spring, we'd like to offer the Goshen Gazette forum board as a place to network and connect so more of us can get "growing" in this upcoming preparation year.
But in the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of rest unto the land, a Sabbath for YHWH: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard. Torah of Holy Scrpture
