Seedbank of open pollinated, non-GMO seeds

This is an ongoing project on building an own bank of open pollinated, non-GMO seeds. The aim is to find seeds that are suited for our very short growing season. Some of these seeds we will grow for the first time, others have been already tested and been approved. Non-GMO, open pollinated seeds for a cold weather, short season, most also suited for the winter garden.
