It’s that time of year again that many of us are reaching for the seed catalogues and decided what we are going to fill those frosty winter beds with come the warmth of spring.<\/p>\n
Well this year I advise you do some research before sowing your seed and make sure you know where it is coming from.\u00a0 Over the last few years Monsanto have been buying up seed companies all over America and the rest of the world. One such company is Seminis who use smaller companies to distribute their seeds – I have included a list below.<\/p>\n
***I have to make an apology here as I was contacted by one of the companies I’d previously listed as being owned by Monsanto as they had threatened me with legal action!!! – The new list I have included below is a list of distributors for Seminis seeds and NOT companies owned by Monsanto*** In other words the list of companies (below) distribute seeds from many companies including Seminis who are owned by Monsanto\u00a0 – so in effect they are selling Monsanto seeds.\u00a0 I’ve taken the following from Seminis’s own website – the choice of whether to buy from them or not is entirely up to you.\u00a0 As the person who contacted me was adamant he had no dealings with Monsanto I have just taken the follow information from the Seminis\/Monsanto website<\/a> and I do not accept any responsibilty for the information I am mearly posting a link to it. <\/strong><\/p>\n “Seminis does not sell directly to home gardeners; however, many of our products are available to consumers from U.S. and Canadian mail order and packet seed companies.
