In a nutshell, non-hybrid seeds are open-pollenated. The benefit of this is, if you were to plant those seeds and let the resulting crop go to seed, these in turn will maintain the characteristics of the parent plant. Based on this, the Costco seeds seem to be a good buy. As a word of warning, keep in mind that even though those seeds may be non-hybrid, they still may not be the most ideal for your location. In other words, if Costco's seed dealers grow their seeds in the mild climate of the Bay Area of California, these seeds may not grow as ideally if you lived in the Northeast and you planted them in that climate. Since those seeds have adapted to the California climate, it's resulting offspring would maintain those adaptations. However, as a survival seed bank, that big bucket of seeds wouldn't be a bad idea. And if you have the time and inclination, you can also begin planting those seeds in your environment, developing generations of seeds that are more acclimated to your environment. Hope this helps! - Erich Gretchen,

Keep up the good work! As I have gone through the archives over the past few weeks, you have addressed everything I have wanted to look into at some point. So much to learn......anyway...... Regarding seeds - Costco sells a bucket of non-hybrid seeds but I really don't know what to look for. How do I know if they are open pollinated? If you go to their site and search "seeds", it will pull up the bucket I am referencing and I would really appreciate your feedback! Thanks!
