Ben many of us save our own seed from year to year, long term, in the freezer, an other way, in zip locks in containers in a cool room but the seed has to be perfectly dry in both cases before packaging. If you are looking for heirloom varieties in smaller packets at a reasonable price check out...
Steve, not sure but I think Tango is a something poodle cross. He's enjoying the beach too

Not sure what happened with the file, I was taking the pics off an email and haven't the faintest of what happened there other than I might have deleted it and then decided to put it back :hu.

I sure hope so, they produced gangbusters for me. I saved seed and have shared it with several people including our snowbird son. He summers in Canada and winters south of the border, they own a condo in Palm Springs but have rented a house on a beach in Mexico for a couple of months. His New...

I hate snakes, thank goodness all we have around here are garter snakes. If I see them first I'm O.K. but if they startle me you'll find me hanging from the nearest tree branch.
Before we were on sewer a neighbor had a rat climb out of their toilet, needless to say it freaked her out. I was so...
