Guest guest Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 The control and power is so wide and deep what is going on is called the New world order - it's a plan that has been designed and implemented over the years starting with the rockfellers in the early 1900's and the federal reserve. Its almost satanic in its power and thinking.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Most seeds in packets say one year and sometimes 2 years. But there is specially packed seed from survival places like BePrepared.com and Emergency Essentials that have seed packed that are supposed to last well, but it is not infinite. So might need to use them and replace them every few years. Check out the site. Provident Pantry is another that might have it and storage items.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Check Sproutpeople.org. There is a list of how long seeds should last. At the college we keep the seeds refrigerated, but that takes special packaging so that no moisture get to the seeds. At home I use a Food Saver food vacuuming machine. Seal them up and place them in the back of the fridge. Do not need to be thawed, either to sprout or plant in the garden. ew Re: Why Sprouting may soon be only a memory (Hope this does not happen) I for one am excruciatingly aware of this...makes me ill to think of the control that is very much in the works...it has always been my belief that when we are reading about something like this it is just about a signed and sealed deal...we are just being informed at that point...I don't pretend to know the answer or even if there is one...but we can't stand by like sheep going to slaughter...I am sick of the governments interference in our private lives.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I save seeds from year to year as well, and like EW, I vac seal them and store them in the fridge or a cool, dark place.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I agree. Hard to believe any information anymore. Carolyn Wilkerson  To: sproutpeople Sent: Sunday, March 18, 2012 2:37 PM Subject: RE: Why Sprouting may soon be only a memory (Hope this does not happen)  the so called elections are a farce. there is no difference between the 2 parties...I dont listen to either side - i decide myself by listening and reading different things and guests on internet radio. The people with the money, the power, the shadow government will instruct the president on what he is supposed to say and do. the bottom line is the controllers want total control of the masses Obama is a puppet just like all the other presidents after kennedy. He wanted to do away with the federal reserve. Look into the history of it and how/where it stated. it all links back to the bank of london and the rothchilds. its called zionism. oh and look into all the exective our " president " has signed and bush had his share of signing those E.O.'s too. enough of this - lets not talk " politics " on this site...

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Sour grass is not a grass at all. It is an Oxalis. The leaves, stems and flowers are all edible. It grows wild around here. I allow it in some parts of my garden, because in covers bare ground and when it dies, it is a mulch. It propagates by seed as well as small bulblettes. It can be very invasive. It's called sour grass because of the very sour taste. Little boys love to challenge little girls to eat it. ew Re: Re: Why Sprouting may soon be only a memory (Hope this does not happen) I never heard of sour grass.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Oh, Oxalis??? My podiatrist is a SPECIALIST ON Oxalis. We talk about this flower all the time. He raises them, he knows EVERYTHING about oxalis. He doesn't like sprouts or sprouting or the taste of sprouts. He just likes to grow Oxalis. lol Melody > > Sour grass is not a grass at all.
