I would love a few of your Hopi Pale Grey seeds. My husband is Active Duty Army (due to retire in a few months). And I have never been lucky enough to have the garden of me dreams ...until now. We live in the country of a small town many, many miles away from the very small army arsenal my husband is stationed at (they have more than doubled the military here and now there is almost 200 soldiers - yes two hundred). I have two summers under my belt now and hope to keep doing it better. I have looked up the issue where you share all your seed sources and hope to get more heirlooms - thanks for the first! A huge fan, Dawn Norcross 546 N 1300th Ave Orion, IL 61273 Jackie,

I found one quite by accident. They are called Best Prices, http://internet.grocer.net/realmeat.htm. They have a wide variety of foods from meat, to veggies and fruits, to grains, to diatomaceous earth and so much more. I believe in bringing in the positive, but you also have to be prepared for anything. There are so many types of disasters that can catch a person off guard from weather to fires to floods to losing your job. The list goes on and on. To keep a year's supply of food for just my husband and I is easy. But if there ever was an emergency that affected our area, we are a close family, so our four grown children and their families and probably lots of extended family would come home. We are lucky. We have a place in the country with wells, plenty of room for a big garden, our animals and of course lots of wildlife. If disaster does ever strike, we could survive quite comfortably. With stores on line like Best Prices, it makes it easier to relax and not worry about the future.

I appreciate that! My address is Howard Tuckey 64 Watts Road Lisle, NY 13797 I will definitely share the seed with friends and family. I can also plant them at least 100' away from other winter squash and pumpkins. Would that be sufficient? If not, I can forego planting the other stuff for a year or two. Thanks again! howard ps -- how can I help with the postage? Thank you! I appreciate that!

I understand your pain of losing it - I have to keep a very watchful eye on my lab. I have seen him dig sweet potatoes out of the ground and pull the very cucumber I'd been eyeing for lunch right off the vine. Honestly, that dog will eat anything I grow in the garden- whether I want him to or not! What a beautiful apple! I understand your pain of losing it – I have to keep a very watchful eye on my lab.
