Growing organic seeds

"I can't find that tasty variety of bean any more", "the varieties offered by the big seed companies don't suit me", "modern tomatoes have a tough skin and no taste, why didn't I save the seeds of Grandma's old variety, so fleshy and sweet?"... Faced with these reactions so common among gardeners, and thanks to Produire ses graines bio, it's possible to rediscover the gestures and know-how our ancestors acquired. Everyone can (and must!) do their bit for their seeds, to preserve what may well prove to be an essential heritage for humanity in the future. We need to adapt our varieties to climate change, so that the vegetables we grow can better withstand these constraints. It is therefore increasingly important to preserve varieties that are rich in taste, adapted to the environment and varied, in order to protect biodiversity and our genetic heritage.
