With the rise in peoples awareness and dissatisfaction with GMO crops, many are turning to the old methods, and insisting on heirloom varieties. In this video below we let a lettuce plant bolt, and use its seeds to make 1,000 lettuces.

Thankfully there is a huge resurgence in free thinkers who believe that by continuing to use heirloom seeds, they will make a huge difference for future generations. So much so, there is now a huge market for seed vaults or personal seed banks
