Are you saying you’re finding random soybeans in your garden?

Now I’m totally confused.

No.

I’m saying I’m not. I’m not seeing any. They’re not just appearing out of nowhere.

The MIGardener said that he bought the land a few years ago and talked to the previous owner who told him that HE had sowed his fields with GMO soybeans. So the land had a history of having the plants in them.

FWIW, the kind of GMO that people object to is not normal hybridization. It’s the kind of DNA manipulation done in the lab.

I see many seeds labeled as *hybrid* but very few as GMO.

Even when I plant stuff in my garden, I try to not plant two varieties of something at the same time if I plan on saving the seed because I know there’s such a high likelihood of the seeds not being the parent plant and being mostly sterile.
