David Brownlee replied to Jayme's discussion 'HR 875/ S425 will make Organic gardeners Felons'

If they want my cherry tomatoes they will have to pry them from my cold dead hands ;-) Of course they will also have to get through a hail of AK-47 bullets! (no worries...I'm not a Loony...just a patio gardener and collector of fine firearms).

Elisabeth Winkler replied to Jayme's discussion 'HR 875/ S425 will make Organic gardeners Felons'

Hi Many thanks for posting the HR 875 bill I do think it has the potential to be a bureaucratic nightmare at some point... Does anyone know what stage the bill is at? Elisabeth, Bristol, UK

Jayme replied to Jayme's discussion 'HR 875/ S425 will make Organic gardeners Felons'

I have attached the bill for each of you to read for yourselves, and draw your own conclusions. Note, their definition of a food producer is painted with a broad brush stroke, and can be interpreted to include seed and vegetable producers. Remembe...

Hi. I just discovered this group through an article on Alternet. NAIS was started as a marketing tool for the beef and pork industry and makes some sense for large producers, but expanding it to the general population is a nightmare. It requires s...

here's a link that should work better to the bill text... note that among the sponsors are Rep Grijalva from our very own AZ, and he is not in any Monsanto pocket... and Rep Pingree from Maine, who is definitely pro-organic farming ... http://...

Joy Williams replied to Jayme's discussion 'HR 875/ S425 will make Organic gardeners Felons'

Because people haven't really READ the bill. It's something that conspiracy groups are making alarmist blog posts about, just cuz they want to scare people and get them to be against the new administration. As you showed, there's no threat to our ...

hey friends -- as per this link -- http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/F?c111:1:./temp/~c1116d88OM:e5014: -- the bill (a) is actually named the H.R.875 Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 (Introduced in House) and has nothing to do with seeds...

Penelope replied to Jayme's discussion 'HR 875/ S425 will make Organic gardeners Felons'

Then that makes Michelle Obama a felon if it's passed since I believe she's planting heirloom varieties at the White House. ?????

March 24

Jayme replied to Jayme's discussion 'HR 875/ S425 will make Organic gardeners Felons'

The bill outlaws heirloom seed production, sales, and possession. It will only allow for the sale and reproduction of patented seeds (most likely hybridized and/or gmo). This bill is supported by Monsanto.

March 24

Jennifer replied to Jayme's discussion 'HR 875/ S425 will make Organic gardeners Felons'

Where are you getting the information regarding the penalty for having heirloom seeds? It isn't in the bill, is it?

March 24

Penelope replied to Jayme's discussion 'HR 875/ S425 will make Organic gardeners Felons'

i've thought a lot about congress and these bills the past few days, and i've decided not to become alarmist. if congress is stupid enough to make gardeners felons, then we're screwed. we can write them from the prison garden.

Here's some details on HR 875, the bill intorduced to the House of Representatives. Its counterpart in the Senate is S 425. Hope this info encourages you to research these bills further, and take action! Time is of the essence!

zuni replied to zuni's discussion 'Garlic' in the group Ontario Gardeners

My original post was from last year. I ended up planting 50/50 (fall and spring). I found the fall bulbs were bigger and matured faster. This year I planted all of my garlic in late October (Ontario, zone 5a). This is early enough for the roots to...

Glenn Fletcher replied to zuni's discussion 'Garlic' in the group Ontario Gardeners

I think it depends on the type of soil you have as to when you plant. I think garlic is tougher than it looks, but no plant likes being sat in cold wet soggy soil. If you have free draining soil with plenty of compost like in a deep bed then autum...

I think that the pepper would be the culprit. You can add that when you shred the cabbage.
