Cross kudzu with watermelons to get high protein yellow meats, ready to fall out of the sky on unsuspecting walkers. Cross hyacinths with watermelons to get melons already floating in the creeks and rivers, ready to cut and eat. Remove the genes which make cotton seed poison to humans so people could eat their cotton seeds Take the genes which make some evergreens rich in heptanes and insert them in trees you could keep in your yard to fuel up the car with. Take the plants which interlock their roots to share food with each other and get them to develop forests of pine where you can drain turpentine from the entire orchard through a single tap, or sugar cane sap, or maple syrup, or latex or whatever plants you had in mind.

As far as help is concerned, none needed thank you. These issues are something we do not have to deal with. The heirlooms are most certainly the way for me.

I just don't know about all this hybridization, I see around me everyday. I would prefer to stay with the pure line, as the Lord made it.
