And now here it comes: They is engineered to ALSO withstand pests. Engineered to make shure ya gotta go back to Monsanto every season jes' to have a patch of tomatoes. An' they's engineered that way so you cain't save seeds fer next season's crop. THey's poisoned from the start-they is sterile, androgynous fake tomatoes, an' they doan make baby tomatoes. UNLESS it is a Monsato tomato -nope, when them seeds fall they DIE. The way nature meant it-a tomato falls to the ground and its seeds grow a whole row of new tomato plants. That means the kind yore grandmama saved after growin' Cousin Sally's shared seeds. This is EGGS-actly why folks like me an' K9 done started ourselves up on some heritage seeds. Monsanto and their subsidiaries is makin' a ka-billion bucks by sellin' seed that doan re-germinate. Next, think about this-no kiddin', now-sit up straight an' think on this: What bothers me in all the articles is the suggestion that it is the heirlooms what is ter blame-that they ain't got no resistance to the fungus blight.įirst, the frankenstein hybrid tomatoes is engineered by Monsanto (and others) to withstand pests and fungus-an' doan look too hard or y'all will see that them GMOs (genetically modified organisims) called market tomatoes ALSO kill bees and butterflies-buh bye pollination! One researcher called the blight-same strain that they claim caused the 1800s potato famine-a bubonic plague fer plants! ( Yeah I know, I know that mah Black Russian 'maters could be mah ticket to wealth and a bigger patch to furrow.)īut stand back-even the doyenne of garden chic, Martha Stewart, has been smashed, blackened by the horrific blight. (but they mighta brought it on theyselves by purchasin' from the big box stores-Walmart, yore name is mud) Doan suppose y'all knowed that a five acre patch of heirloom tomatoes and potatoes could pay the taxes on yore house at the shore did'ja? The fancy pants restaurants is paying more than sushi grade tuna fer a heirloom tomato that the Long Island chi-chi- gardens all grow. Well, if ya read the New Yawk Times (that screed? yeah, sometimes folks send it to me via cyber links), mebbe ya heard how a dread tomato blight is rippin' through the northeast.
