Monsanto owned seeds?

A list I'm on had the following post by a member who is thoughtful, credible and engaged.

"I'm not able to verify the accuracy of this information, but here is
what claims to be a list of Monsanto home-garden vegetable seeds and seedlings, as offered through various companies. It appears that not all of these contain GMOs, but if you are the type of person who simply wishes not to support Monsanto, this list may be helpful: http://www.agardenforthehouse.com/2012/02/forewarned-is-forearmed-veggie-varieties-owned-by-monsanto/"

Thanks to Monsanto's tinkering, we are now enjoying the "superweeds" that have mutated in response to seed engineered to be resistant to their herbicides. Great. I have enough weeds in the garden without ones that are even more aggressive or hardy. 

Vote with your dollars. Voice your concerns. And get ready to fight the weeds as well as the seeds.
