Just for fun I placed this FP seed into one of these spots to see what would happen, it sprouted in 3 days.

Breakfast! I usually don't post pics of food, but I need to unload some seeds that I will never get to, so another silly contest!

This represents a small portion of the assorted non-AG seeds that I have received over the years, mostly from the exotic seed exchange and the EGVGA. Guess the fish on previous post and I'll mail them to you.

I'm using this aero garden to sprout some seeds. It's a small hydroponic seed sprouter. The base is filled with water and nutrients. A small aerator puts oxygen in the water.

Well here is is the new digs. On the county side of town so taxes are half, which I like. It's a registered heritage home, a plus for my wife for me...meh. But..

The lot is 28000 sq. feet, not an acreage but walking distance to school for the kids and a nice garden for me next year. Glenn, what would this property go for in the lower mainland? Under $200,000? It was worth the wait. This season I will enjoy the fruits of other folks labor. Next year will be sweet.

Finally, after two long years I can look forward to having a garden again. This spot, about 3000 sq. feet, will be mainly pumpkins.

I found this under some shelving in the basement, but I don't know what it is. Possibly an ornamental top for an old fancy wood/coal stove maybe?

We are converting the old laundry room into another bathroom. I relocated the washer and dryer to another area and while installing the new washer drain I found this tucked up in the floor joists in the basement. I have an idea what it is and I could google it but where is the fun in that.

Nice surprise to find these in the big box. I gave or donated almost all of my "heavy" seeds. Although it is waaay too early to decide, these ones deserve consideration. The 890, I have come to learn, is 1290 Poirier x 1016 Daletas Whoa! And the 593 Dill is 589 Dill ( 670 Daigle x 846 Calai ) x 1290 Poirier. With only "orange" superstars in the lineage, how could you go wrong.

I don't know if this pic acurately shows all the stuff we were able to get for two families. One of the families is new to the area but it was pretty evident, the principal says, they didn't have much. The other family is a single Mom, recently diagnosed with MS and hubby split leaving her to raise an infant and a 6 year old. The two boxes in the rear are filled with wrapped gifts and the groceries include full turkey dinners and a BA breakfast as well. Thanks again Eddy Z and Gene!!
