Ruth, you are a wealth of information.

We have a year round greenhouse, we are picking our greens now. Will remember to buy non hybrid seeds for february planting.

I would go ahead and buy the hybrid seeds for February planting. Your yield will be much higher. I believe that "Granny" was just urging you to buy the non-hybrid seeds to store for emergencies. The non-hybrid type keeps much longer than hybrid seeds, yet produce less yield.
