Leftwood said:If you put in the description something like "seed saver/collector" rather than just "seed saver", it would be more inclusive.

MikeD said:Hi @Leftwood . . . I see what you are saying. Being a seed saver is most definitely not limited to ones own garden. Conscientious wild crafting can be a form of seed saving.

if you were one that travels hundreds of miles for a couple species' seed, or many thousands of miles annually, you might understand why being named the same as one who grows heirloom beans (for example) and walks out the door to pick them for seed saving is different. There is a lot more to it than that in both scenarios, and I don't mean to belittle either method. They are just not the same: like apples and oranges, they are both fruit, but bite into them and you will know they are not the same.

Let's not make this a debate. I kept my original comment brief, because I did't want to make a big thing about this. If it doesn't happen, I'm fine with that. It was just a suggestion.
