myself, hailing from NORTH Georgia and living under the Blue Ridge Parkway in N.C., don't have no problem with my second language (enklish) /s
Yes,, Thank you.. the previous had already expired (> than 100 dloads I presume) so that will be a great help..
as for the seeds, I don't know what gmo and non-gmo relate to..
I just bought an arm load of seeds at wally-world for 3 bucks..maybe something will sprout. ha
GMO = genetically modified. Monsanto splices in some genes that make the plant roundup resistant. The problem is that no one knows if the Franken-plant will be a problem in the future if its pollen mixes with non-GMO plants, if it may create poison, etc. I prefer not to take the risk. Nearly all soybeans are GMO these days. It means Monsanto can patent the plant and sue farmers who save seeds from previous years for patent infringement. It’s a very scary scenario we are headed to.
The yousendit links expire in a week, too, so no telling if it was 100 downloads or 7 days whichever came first. :)

LOL!!
Someone, I think DelaWhere, recommended putting ten seeds on a damp paper towel and see what percent sprouts. Del, is there more to sprouting than that?

Welcome to the thread, I am so glad you joined in and hope you will continue and help us all learn.
You have had some good answers to you questions, so I will only comment on you armload of seeds.
If you bought them for 10 to 25 cents per packet, then more than likely they are the old varieties.
A few years ago, I traced down some of the varieties and they were the older types, which is exactly what I want for planting here, as the new hybrids do not take to our hot days and we cool off at night in Kingman.
So when someone says “They are the old varieties”, smile and think to yourself “But I can save most of these and grow them next year and I did not pay what you did per package”.
