RickCorey said:If we do have a glossary, I have a vote about the meaning of "OP" or "open pollinated".

I recently encounted a new usage of the term that frankly horrified me because it contradicts the existing meaning of the term, and makes meaningless every traded or purchased seed packet labelled "OP".

The new usage is like using the term "organic vegetable" to mean any vegetable that contains carbohydrates, i.e. "every single vegetable ever grown", even if drenched in malathione and urea.

I understood this much of your post. I think that drives home the need for a glossary




(or else it proves how under-educated I am in gardening things)
