Seedfork said:I just received my Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Catalog, and it appears that both WR Ranch and SmartSeeds are correct, (according to the little article in the catalog).


The primary point I was making was that GMO seed is not & never has been available to a home gardener. A secondary point is that many people don't know the difference between a hybrid & GMO cultivars. The propagation of misinformation (whether intentional or unintentional) is not helpful.

I was not addressing cross pollination issues at all (although corn pollen is heavy & doesn't travel very far, nor does it remain viable for extended periods). Anybody that has grown corn knows that certain varieties need to be planted at least 200' apart or sown at different times to avoid cross-pollination.
