Default Full Acre Crisis Garden!

LOL... http://www.survivalseedbank.com/ right now for only $149

Now i am aware that there are certain governments that are doing exactly this but on a much larger scale. My question is, amongst the hype in that website this claim is made.... "When the going gets tough... you'll only want this special type of seed which will produce not only outstanding nutritional plants but will allow you to plant the seeds from the plants you grow unlike sterile hybrids. Most seed companies are now selling only "terminator" seeds which have been genetically modified and will not reproduce themselves."

What's this about sterile Hybrids seeds? Is this website making the claim that a seed from a store bought watermelon or tom won't grow?

At any rate i think one could duplicate this whole idea for a heck of a lot less that $149, but I also question the need.

Got the toms in this weekend, two weeks late. Only 4 were mine started from some seed given to me several years ago from someone here, they are Black Cherries. The other 14 were grown locally by a mom&pop in 2 greenhouses, a couple are so large they have blooms already, most were 10-14" tall and not spinly, (some watermelon plants, cucs and peppers) all for $18.50, when these people pass on I'll have to resort to all grown from seeds in my gardens wouldn't want to buy all these plants at Lowe's.....
