Classy language there, Donald Hudgens. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
I didn't go after Bill Jeffers - and I never have had any issue with his section of Marianna's site that sells CLEARLY LABELED crossed seeds that are not stable. For those wanting to buy those varieties, have at it. F2-F6 growouts can be fun - as long as you know in advance that you're going to get different types of fruits, foliage, etc.

I also have no idea whether or not Bill approved having his unstable seeds sold in Marianna's section of the site labeled "New for 2013 Heirloom Seeds" without any disclaimer about them being unstable i.e. not growing true-to-type.

Regardless, they ARE being sold in that manner (listed as a stable variety), along with many other unstable crosses also being deliberately misrepresented as stable varieties.

This isn't about jealousy.

It's about ripping off people that have no idea they're going to waste their money and an entire growing season on seeds that will not grow as advertised and/or described.

One last word of farewell, Dear Master and Mistress.


Whenever you visit my grave,

say to yourselves with regret

but also with happiness in your hearts

at the remembrance of my long happy life with you:


"Here lies one who loved us and whom we loved."


No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you,

and not all the power of death

can keep my spirit

from wagging a grateful tail.
