Re: I need advice too, idk

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT--I'm in the US state abbreviated as CA rather than the North American country abbreviated as CA. Which is one of the reasons the JL Hudson seed company supporting the convoy is such a red flag; they're also in California, but their website is currently plastered with "the pandemic is over, this is tyranny!!!"

Which was especially annoying since I'd assumed, like an idiot, that a company that mailed out seed catalogues using Ursula Le Guin stamps was unlikely to be full up of right-wingers.

I suspect they started as left wing anti-government types and have Frankensteined themselves into an unholy amalgamation of anti-government sentiment with the "my liberty includes the right to cough in your face after refusing to get vaccinated" crowd. I'm working up the steam to send them an angry "you just lost a good customer and free publicity opportunity in one go" email, but I feel like an asshole when I think of being that kind of customer.

Plus I feel guilty because this is the first time I've ever considered buying from a company whose actions I loathe and salving my conscience by donating money to another organization working against what I hate them for. Like I said, I buy from Amazon, but the sheer scale of Amazon makes me think my energy is better spent working toward better conditions and union rights for warehouse workers than avoiding all things Amazon forever.

Not placing a $400 seed order with one of these relatively small seed companies and sending them a nasty email saying I never will again seems more likely to yield results.

The only community garden in our area is run by an anti-vax church, sigh.

So far, my list of places to go begging includes Native Seed Search, the local chapter of the California Native Plant Society (which buys their seeds from, among others, JL Hudson), the local chapter of the Audobon society (who also buys from JL Hudson), and several local nurseries (that buy seed from Baker Creek.)

At this point, I'm thinking I may just start as many plants as I can from my existing seed stock originally from JL Hudson and Baker Creek and add seeds to the library as I harvest them.

But some native plants take years to flower and set seed, and my yard isn't big enough to isolate cultivars of veggies and fruit to prevent cross-pollination.

Maybe I should just tell my boss that if she wants me to do this I can write up a proposal and see if the people who raise money for us could throw some our way.

Argh. This is why I want to stay a low level cog in the machine and not promote much higher, my brain is frying just trying to tackle this minor problem.
