I've been so frustrated they refused to sell me the seeds with blight resistance. They wont sell it because it's immune to roundup.

Is that true? I thought that you couldn't buy Darling 58 because the petition to sell it to the public hadn't been approved by the government.

There are three separate petitions underway. Last I heard only one of the three was fully submitted, the rest are in varying stages of preparation. The individual doing the lions share of the labor on these petitions just defended his PhD (of which the petitions themselves made up a large component of his dissertation).

Sorry Dan, wasn't trying to post duplicative content! Will do a better job looking for similar threads in the future.

Adding to this, if you post a re-post you will be redirected to the old thread instead of your new one. So you will know that you're reposting!

(I was a little embarrassed when this happens to me at first, but I have gotten over it now. It's nice to have a computer fact check me. Even if it means my clever titles have to be thrown away!)

It's ok! those links to previous threads that I post are just for curious archive-combers. When a post is an actual dupe, we bury it.

It's true that the American Chestnut had a major thread less than a year ago, but the line that srcreigh quoted from the FAQ says "or so" to give us a few months' worth of interpretive wiggle room.
