Allotment gardeners as serious criminals: 25,000 euro fine for growing old fruit and vegetable varieties.
There are still seeds of age-old fruit and vegetable varieties. They are hardy and can be propagated beautifully - but they shouldn't. There is a seed trade law in this country that prohibits the trade, exchange and transfer of old seeds. People should rather use genetically modified seeds from criminal big companies.
