If you are just starting out and don't have anything, you can send me something
next year (I'll take a rain check in other words). You don't have to send me anything until the seeds I send you sprout. I am interested in any fruit Or Vegetable that I don't have, especially local strains we
don't have here.
If you are a Peace Corps volunteer or from a third world or foreign
country or
Even just another state you can find seed strains that I can not, at your local market place. The seeds from the squash or melon you ate that was a type not listed on my list would interest me. Also no need for S.A.S.E.
I'll send it to you direct just as you can send it to me when you find something I can use. Always check with me before sending please. This should speed things up. Right now, I am a slow trader.
Thank you.
