Organic Fruit & Vegetable Seeds

Organic Fruit Seeds

• Although more vegetables are readily offered by nurseries and gardeners, you can still find a handful of organic fruit species seeds on the market. Melons, such as honeydew, watermelon and cantaloupe, are more suited for warmer climates. The Halloween favorite, pumpkins are easy to grow and their seeds can last up to six years before planting. Organic strawberry seeds, once grown to an adult plant, produce juicy red fruit from summer to late fall.

Organic Vegetable Seeds

• A wider group of organic vegetable seeds can be found for all-natural gardeners. Organic tomato seeds are on hand in a huge variety of exotic species such as Black Krim, Carmello and Green Zebra. Both underground organic vegetable seeds like beets, radishes and rutabagas as well as above ground organic seeds including corn, sweet peppers and snow peas are commonly offered for sale.

Benefits of Organics

• Organically grown plants are not sprayed by any pesticides, fungicides or other toxic chemicals used by farmers to protect their plants from harmful insects and fungus. Inorganically grown food may contain trace amounts of these harmful chemicals. All organic seeds are harvested from parent plants that are chemical free so that the germinating plants will also grow organically. Fruits and vegetables grown organically are healthier for human consumption and they spare the Earth's soil and water the effects of noxious chemicals in the environment.
