Within 3yrs none of the plants we grow will still be produced?

if you buy vegetable seeds, you see heirloom varieties sell out before all the hyrbrid stuff. no matter how far science advances and is able to create the “perfect” version of beans, watermelon, tomatoes, or cannabis, i think people who want quality will always go for old school versions. i want to walk to my garden and pick the same tomatoes that were in gardens a 100 years ago. i want to harvest and cure the same bud that was in some dudes joint he was smoking watching jerry and the boys at winterland in '77. will i try some new stuff, sure. will i always wind up trying to score the oldest beans i can to see if they will pop and what magic will come out, bet your ass. sounds like forums like this one will be key in keeping old school genetics documented, alive, and in the hands of growers who want to dig into the history of an amazing plant. i love all the crosses ive made and the ones i see you folks creating but i think we can all pretty much agree that if someone offered up a legit bag of beans from 60 years ago, pretty much anything in the stash would be up for that trade. i grew up reading high times and drooling over buds in those pages. when the opportunity arises to score those beans, i take it. that’s what will always peak my interests. ill read the grow logs when folks work their magic on new cultivars but ill keep chasing down the legends i grew up on for my personal garden.
