Oh, I didn't notice that post, Honeybee! I meant that people who are currently in Europe might have a better sense of what's going on there with the new regulations. I do know that you're European, but I figured that those on the ground there are probably hearing a lot more about it than we are here. Although my friend in France doesn't seem to have much sense of the ramifications.
MOVING INTO OUR SUMMER VEGGIE GARDENS, PART 1
I'm missing something. Perhaps yáll are referring to a post on another thread?
My brother and sister-in-law live in France. The rest of my family (except my children) live in England.
There is a thread on the tomato forum abt that topic already. It's kind of hard to have so many topics going on,on this one thread when the original topic is still going strong. It's hard to talk about that EU thing if you haven't read it all and I think there may be better places to discuss it, since people keep posting around it here. Pretty clear, at least to me, that most of us want to stick to the original topic.
I'm harvesting tomatoes, beans, cukes, 3 types of squash, eggplant, and some peppers. There is still a lot more out there.
Honeybee, there's a thread, as 1lisac mentioned, about new rules in the EU which strictly regulate the sale of seeds unless they are registered and well-documented. It's not intended to apply to noncommercial seed trading, supposedly, but that could change at any time without the need for public comment. Here's the link:

Maybe your brother and the rest of your family have some thoughts about this that you could share on that thread.
Thanks, GG - I'll have to ask my brother about this. They are avid gardeners.
My mom is 95 and doesn't garden anymore. None of the rest of the family garden.
This thread is getting long, so here's a new thread!
