To Seed or Not to Seed?

That is the question.

We planted grapes in our garden from the start.  We love grapes and loved the idea of growing our own.  When we started out my daughter and her husband stopped by Lowe's and picked up three plants of Seedless Purple Grapes.  A couple years later we found them Not to be seedless. 

 So, I decided to buy a couple more plants this time at Menard's, once again Seedless Purple Grapes.  A couple years later and... they are Not seedless.  

So, we then went to a lady in town that sells plants for the garden.  She had a grapevine and was selling plants.  We asked if they were seedless and she said they were.  We asked again and told her our dillema and she stated that she has been growing the same plants herself for years and they are definitely seedless.  Well, now a couple years later and guess what?  They are Not seedless.

Okay God, three strikes and I am out!  Grapes will not grow seedless on this land!  It got me thinking... is God telling us something?

We are like most people and don't like messing with bitter seeds.  However, God did not make grapes without seeds.  Man did that.  

Upon further investigation I found how nutritious grape seeds are and taking them out depletes the nutritional value of the fruit.  

This is what the Bible has to say about it...

God blessed them: saying, be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it.  Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air and all the living things that move on the earth.  God also said: "See, I give you every seed-bearing plant all over the earth and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit on it to be your food. 

Genesis 1:28-29

Here's an interesting article... Seedless Fruit versus Seeded Fruit

Some people do have problems with seeds in their digestive tract, but if not, seeded fruit may need another look.  However, anymore it's hard to find seeded watermelon and grapes in the supermarkets.  The demand for seedless has been so great.  

I don't have to go far to get seeded grapes.  

My garden won't grow anything else!

God Bless!
