When someone in the Beta swap said they ONLY wanted organically grown seeds, I went back to check. Some of the packaging said "ORGANIC" in large print on the pre-printed generic envelopes, though they typically did not mention that in the fine print printed for each separate variety packed in that generic kind of envelope.

Since it only said "organic" and not "certified organic by XYZ agency", I wonder how much that means. If it were Burpee or Parks, I might guess cynically that they "accidentally"-deliberately use generic packaging so they can make everything look organic, but I trust Johnnies and Territorial to not deliberately mislead.


That was me that you're talking about, I think. Big Grin Rolling my eyes. I relaxed that preference once the swap started, though. It especially helped that many of the seeds were self-harvested by people so I feel pretty certain they were untreated. I chuckled, though, at your comment about Burpee...and I think you are right about Victory; if they say organically grown, I would believe it.

Edited to change "anti-fun gal" to anti-fungal. If we have any gal's here who are anti-fun, I don't wanna know about it!
